Rhetorical Devices

The nuts and bolts of speech and writing; the parts that make a communication work. Separately, each part of is meaningless, but once put together they create a powerful effect on the listener/reader.

Rhetorical devices can function at all levels: words, sentences, paragraphs, and to infinity and beyond.

Rhetoric

The means by which you articulate your argument. Rhetoric can be applied to anything that you wanna argue about.

Unfortunately, this means that rhetoric can be applied to an argument that: A) you do not agree with, B) is fighting for the wrong cause, or C) is just plain wrong. If such is the case, then you might in fact loathe the argument even more. I know I would.

Rhetoric is to a factual argument as icing is to cake.

Applying rhetoric to a weak or misguided argument is like polishing a turd and then plating it with gold.

Rhetoric

FEEEEEEEAR! AND CHAAAAAOOOOOOS! BLALALALALALALALALALALA!

Hym "Seriously? No. It isn't that. Really. That is all these people do! Regurgitate empty rhetoric. Your Venecian method doesn't work on me shit-head. It ain't going to work. Literally only one thing will work. It'll start with you and the people who remain will change their mind. So..."

rhetorical apology

An apology that does not require an "it's ok" response. Usually the person who is being apologized to should actually be doing the apologizing. Rhetorical apologies are often stated with large amounts of unmistakable sarcasm.

Incorrect response...

Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: That's ok.
Girl: That was a rhetorical apology you doucher.

Correct response...

Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: Oh no no! I'm sorry! I was completely out of line.
