You deserve a disagree button. ;-) As I did.

I am closing this thread. We have told junaid several times to look in a dictionary first and then ask us if he has any problems with the definitions. We have also given him the onelook.com link.

You deserve a disagree button

I know what you mean, but that's not natural English. Unfortunately, I can't at the moment think what the natural English is. . Perhaps someone else will enlighten us.

I have re-opened the thread in case anybody can enlighten us.

When I was writing that message I wrote "you deserve a disagree", but after that I checked my dictionary and I didn't find a "disagree" as a noun. I knew that my message would be bad English.

I think "you deserve a disagreement" is correct.

Hello sir; kindly don't misunderstand me... I already looked the dictionary to find the meaning of it. Besides, opened onelook.com to know more, but all of these have brought me confusion.. That is why i asked my doubts here.. So please help me instead of blaming me... Thank you.

I think "you deserve a disagreement" is correct.

I would suggest, "You deserve a 'Disagree'." Clicking 'Disagree' is not actually what I'd call a disagreement, although it does indicate that one exists. Similar is "I gave him a 'Like'."

Hello, junaid chithari.:-D

May I suggest that you make your own example sentences using those words in the title?

For example:

I have a question about the usage of "in spite of" and "though".
Are #1 and #2 correct?
1. In spite of they got a flat tire, they made it on time.
2. Though they got a flat tire, they made it on time.

(#1 is wrong, by the way.)

They don't all have the same meaning. If they did, it would be pointless your asking what the difference is. Where did you learn that they mean the same? (I fear a thesaurus or list of synonyms may be involved.)
They can have similar meanings, but without a context they are all just words or phrases.
Let's see what you know. Can you say which words fit here:
1. ___ her ugly face, she had many friends.
2. ____ we had eaten, we were still hungry.
3. _____, I still have some doubts.
4. I still like you ____ you said those things.
Try those first.
