If you’re plating pedant (and like many, that’s all you can do) that argument can be made.But it’s entirely appropriate to say in response that all things are relative and and money has no value barring its relationship with other goods. It is wholly apparent that the decrease I referred to was the declining value of money required to purchase a fixed amount of other goods.
But you’d rather ignore the issue and play semantics instead. Now why might that be?

No, it’s the declining amount of money because the value is increasing relative to those other goods.
Sheesh.
The fuck is a ‘plating pedant’?

Professor Muprhy is turning convential (neo liberal) economic dogma on its head. Surelt a Nobel Prize can’t be too far off?
A sad day, it seems Dr. Keith has gone to the auto-delete in the sky as having taken the piss out of Ritchie for 18 months without him noticing, he’s finally twigged. I can see why Murphy Richards gave up, as the stupid cunt can’t see it when you take the piss.
Andy Crow might want to get Ritchie to do the anagram (I was a bit pissed so that’s why the name changes!)
Don’t worry Spud, the campaign continues!
He can’t just admit that he misspoke (uh, misstyped?) can he.
Oh no, it seems I have to apologise to Richard.
After years of calling him a hypocrite for his tax dodging Trivial Pursuit adventures and other things, it seems he is a man of his word.
Having declared that charity is bad, and all funds should be paid to the state to distribute, he is living by his word and allowing his unemployed, former radio DJ twin brother to beg for a cheap B&B and security job on twitter while he himself builds an extension to his 4 bedroom (assumed wifeless) Ely home. Good on you Richard for sticking to your principles and not helping him out with your own money! After all, we can’t all rely on family can we?

@John²
My guess is that he was groping his way towards “prating pedant”.
This is a new word in the poet-professor’s lexicon. I suspect that one of his deleted commenters suggested he was prating and he nicked the word because it sounds poetic and forceful given the right context.

Believe so

@John2
My guess was “playing” pedant.
“Being pendantic” ≠ “using terminology correctly”. This is a meta-argument I’ve had any number of times during an actual argument with people who seem to regard using a word in its normally-agreed sense as being somehow irrelevant to the truth of an assertion. If you say black is white and I insist that it is, in point of fact, black, then I’m not being pendantic.

Some Dr. Keith Crainshraw highlights
How did spudda miss that? imho Dr Keith was becoming bored & trying to goad spudda into banning him.
The end of Dr. Keith Crainshraw
basically the BoE have said you are wrong, should sod off and be ignored and they are the ones that know what’s right. I hope you will engage with them directly and correct them on their misunderstanding.

I very strongly suspect they read this blog

Well why not? Everyone needs a laugh now and again, even Mark Carney.
