    Ello Certain x

    Thank goodness for google :D

    OK I think we start with….Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. :?

    Then I think we move onto….Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author :?

    We might then move onto Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader’s emotions :?

    If all the above fail… we then move onto the most popular form of debate here… personal attacks :D Substituting abusive remarks for evidence… failing that a mallet can be useful :D

    Ello Mrs teapot x

    I wouldnt go that far Mrs teapot, i know there are some highly emotive issus debated in here and they can lead to personal attacks, which is why i dont get invoved as vicky Pollard would say.

    Ethos is very strong in here. :wink:

    What is the plural of ethos….ethoses ethoi?
