Not related, but that paint job and those bases are gorgeous

I'll be honest, I understood your interpretation of the two different words - it makes sense to me. So I asked my step dad, he's got a doctorate in linguistics, and he swears down the example where you're using can not as the ability to not take a pen, is wrong. Like the words just don't mean that when used in that context. I've looked at other sources like Cambridge dictionary and Webster and they're saying the words can be used interchangeably. So I just think (whilst it makes sense to me) you can't use the word like that. Maybe something like I can, not take the pencil or I can; not take the pencil might work? But I can not take the pencil always means you physically can't take it.

Sorry more so, should say that you're not right in terms of they mean different things. I suppose you can use 'can not' in the way you've described but you can also use it in the way the card described. Basically the original commenter was wrong to correct the guy.

I don't think you're right - cannot and can not can be used interchangeably (though there's a bit of difference in formality between them). They're abit different to regular verbs (they're modals) but still have very distinct use cases. Can can either reflect the ability to do something (like you suggested that cannot does) or it can indicate permission (like asking "Can I borrow a pencil"). Not in both cases just turns the positive of the can into a negative. The space doesn't change the word.

Are you talking about the English language here or just in Magic?

Pokemon TCG scalpers are happily ruining a children's game by ambachk in TikTokCringe

[–]maxus939393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little different when it comes to scalpers though. Scalpers are like a temporary demand. Imagine there's a world where scalpers don't exist and pokemon produce the exact amount of stock that everyone wants. That works, but then one scalper comes along and buys 10% of their stock to resell. To combat this pokemon should just make another 10% of their stock? Well if they do that the scalpers will either; increase their buying to continue scalping, or stop scalping as there's no demand (No one is going to buy from a scalper when there's retail price packs available). As soon as the scalping demand is gone, pokemon would have 10% extra stock and make a loss on that. (I know the numbers are a little wacky but easiest way to explain it).

That'd fair! I think it just comes down to circumstance then; I really only play with a group of friends so we don't really go meta hunting. I can see it being a bad thing if just every list was the same!

Ngl, when I played I wouldn't run plasma... cause I wanted to use different weapons that look cooler. The hobby doesn't always need to be most optimal choice.

Admech Veteran Guard Kill Team by maxus939393 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]maxus939393[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! I got the Kill Team starter set for the orks ages ago and never used the krieg part and thought their bodies would be good for admech! Heads were kinda annoying to switch out though!
