I didn’t “connect” empiricism to language. You compared my argument to a flat earth argument. I debunked that claim by explaining that flat earth theory can be debunked empirically, and phonology cannot because it is not within the realm of empiricism. If that sounds like a connection to you, then it’s entirely based on you connecting pronunciation to flat earth theory in the first place.
And you’re being childish for trying to twist that to make it look like I made the mistake that you did.
I understand prescriptive and descriptive language just fine, and you’re being arrogant by assuming that I don’t. You simply can’t admit that you’re wrong, so you attack me as if I don’t know what I’m talking about.
What you’re trying to do is prescribe rules to language
That’s not what I’m doing at all. That’s what you’re doing. I argued that the people who insist that “gif” with a hard g is the only correct way are wrong and arrogant. I said I pronounce it with a soft g, as in “jif.” I never said everyone must pronounce it that way, therefore I did not make a prescriptive argument
You, on the other hand, did make a prescriptive argument by saying that only the pronunciation with the hard g is the right way. So again, that’s more projection.
It’s a good comparison to flat earthers, because you’re equally ignorant of your own ignorance.
Pot, kettle, black.
I’m not “running away in shame,” I’m simply capable of recognizing when someone isn’t capable of engaging in good faith argumentation, and I have more self-respect than to waste my time on people like that.
Resurrecting a dead thread because you’re such a miserable individual that you can’t think of anything else to do but try to make others as miserable as you?
What…? My comment wasn’t that deep, but it sounds like you want it to be. You need to stop it with the unprompted toxicity/hostility.
My comment was simply a nudge to the irony contained within your statement. Apparently you couldn’t handle reflecting on that, so instead you decided to lash out about some made up nonsense. (projection about your misery?)
If this is how you typically behave in life, I can understand why you’d be miserable.

You’re pathetic.
