Tupac's 'Autonomousity'

#1
i was thinking which one word sums up Tupac's character the best above all others. words like 'thug' or 'gangster' and such like them are superficial words and get thrown out the window of perspective straight away.

despite tupac being from what other people have described him to be a deeply insecure person, i still see his character to be ultimately moreover autonomous, which is probably one of the reasons that underlined his controversial and contradictary nature, as insecurity doesn't mix with the idea of autonomousity.

what's your opinion, do you think that tupac was autonomous, or have you any other takes on his character

i think the concept of taking a multi-sided and complex entity as a personality and try and describe it with one word, is total shite. if a person is sad some times and happy others, you can't accurately describe that fact with a single word. "variation" doesn't do it, too ambiguous word to use. why is this even something you think about lol?

also, the word is wrong. he wasn't that independent.

As a duly designated officer of the grammar police, I must inform you that the word you seek is autonomy. Don’t respond rudely, friend, I’m here to help.

what i am trying to get at though, is not an impression of character from a third person stereotypical perspective, i am talking about the character of tupac's ego.

when you hear him talking in interviews about how it feels like to be the last person alive, that's the kind of plateu his ego had achieved.

tupac being independent minded is the meaning i put behind his autonimousity, he may have relied on other people for business issues, but couldn't nobody shake his mind-state personally

my grammar is more than eloquent here, so take note. the adjective 'autonomous' is the word i am using, with the added suffix '-ity' at the end, in english grammar this is called a Conjunction, the adjective together with the suffix requires no hyphen '-' to connect the two. not to be big headed or anything but you can't criticise my grammar. Autonomousity is the word i inteded to use, there is no denying it's grammatical definition, it is simply an adjective with the appropriate added suffix

I don't think your logic is flawed, but what you won't find in any grammar or usage book is that you can't add any suffix to any word and have yourself a magic new word. Just because the suffix applies doesn't mean the word exists. The reason you won't find it in books is that it's one of the simplest things in the world, and people who speak English as their first language kind of know it innately.

When we learn to speak this language, we also learn how to make an adjective into a noun. Like any language I've come into contact with, there are specific rules for specific words. The only noun for "autonomous" is "autonomy". That's it. I can't believe I have to explain that making up words is, while fun, incorrect.

And wait a fucking minute. You can't just make up your own conjunctions!

But I admire your spin. You should be on Fox News.

check Suffix Definition:
noun. An affix added to the end of a word or stem, serving to form a new word or functioning as an inflectional ending, such as -ness in gentleness, -ing in walking, or -s in sits.
To add as a suffix.
as you will see from this example, adding a suffix is a simple way to make a noun-word from using a conjunction

You're not understanding me. I know all of the stuff you're copying and pasting already.

My simple point is that you made up a word, and that's a no-no. Nowhere in that definition does it say that you are allowed to make up a word.

When it says "to form a new word", it means new in relation to the "old" word you're changing it from. It doesn't mean a new word that you made up.

your argument is flawed because i have already explained the basics of the grammar involved and the underlying usage of it.

let me explain it for you again in more simpler terms. Autonomus is the 'adjective' word, '-ity' is a suffix that adds to the adjective and together creates the noun 'autonomousity'. that is the whole reason and meaning behind adding the suffix, to turn an adjective into a noun. you have no argument against 'autonomousity' being a noun, the suffix makes it a noun. all i did was add the adjective word autonomous to the suffix -ity. now stop crying on the fact that you have been schooled on the subject of adjectives, suffixes, conjunctions, nouns, and their uses

You're wrong. I proved it, and you haven't disproven it. No one is crying and there is no need to get your feathers ruffled. I'm not trying to piss you off. I think you're a good poster. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. But you're wrong and I stand by that. Making up words is not a principle of any language, or else it wouldn't be a language, it would just be whatever Yeshua wants.

My argument isn't against it being a noun. It's against it being a word. But I don't need to argue. You won't find that word anywhere except in your post.

But okay. You can have the last word. We're both Morrissey fans, after all.

man i'm talking about Tupac and my grammar is flawless, you wont find that word anywhere than in my post because i understand how simple it is to add a suffix to a word. take the suffix 'ish' for example, you are Fool-ish, there i created noun with the use of a suffix, call the fucking shakespeare police why dont you idiot

Foolish is a word that exists. And it's ironic for you to use it on someone else, having made such a fool of yourself in this thread.

you are just winding me up, go annoy somebody else, instead of you talking about the thread subject you choose to talk about my grammar instead, that is called digressing
