<< review queue entry 35650 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> no "powerful words" here, this is an error dating to the original misreading qiang2. I dislike "to argue irrationally" too, it's not the meaning. In fact this is a very common and simple expression, which means that you are trying to win the argument in a somewhat strenuous and unreasonable way. |
