Qwazukee:
2 of those aren’t real words, and one of them is an abbreviation. So I suppose it could be argued that you can sum up this dynasty in 0 words.
Klisz:
Arth and Darth are words. They’re proper nouns, which are words.
And abbreviations are words too.
You amateurs bug me.
Clucky:
Go Arth!
Qwazukee:
Well, Darth is part of a proper noun, I guess, but. Arth is part of the word “arthexis,” so not a word itself. Abbreviations are the little lost step-nephew of words. Do you play Blognomic professionally? But I’m glad there’s a place to discuss minutiae like this.
Klisz:
Not amateur BlogNomic players - amateur Grammar Nazis.
Qwazukee:
Hardly, I was just thinking outside the box to add spice to an otherwise inane post. It’s hard for a grammarian on this site, just look around. Why did you capitalize “arth?” . . . just because I want to know the policy on capitalizing non-capitalized proper nouns at the beginning of sentences, which I can surely only get from self-proclaimed proffesional grammar Nazis.
arthexis:
Furthermore, my nickname is all lowercase, so, no sense in capitalizing it.
Klisz:
The Arth instead of arth just seems to be standard around here.
Bucky:
Furthermore, it happens to be the first word of a sentence.
Qwazukee:
Please read my last comment.
arthexis:
@Bucky: That’s not even a sentence.
Klisz:
Yes it is.
Subject: Arth
Verb: versus (which is in fact a verb, just a strange one)
Object: Darth
Qwazukee:
“Versus” is a preposition. Cf. “against.” Prepostitions are not verbs. A sentence must have a verb. Neither “Arth” nor “Darth” is a verb. Q.E.D. it isn’t a sentence.
Klisz:
Alright then, after several dynasties of looking it up, I have decided that the full three words are together just one noun, e.g. how the name of a lawsuit can be used as a noun.
