No... Fruits are the parts of a plant that hold the seeds.
Vegetables are any other part of the plant.

Nice attempt at sounding like you know what you're talking about, but next time, you should take 4th grade science. Just in case.

Damn this could easily be settled and 'i don't know' actually look it up on wikipedia, like i told you to instead of just assuming you know everything. It's pretty sad when you get thumbed down for being right about something

Then go and look it up on Wikipedia.

I don't NEED to look it up, simply because I graduated the 5th grade, where you usually are supposed to learn things like this...

I'm not saying that it's not a fruit, I totally agree that it is a fruit.
All i'm saying is that vegetable is not the opposite of fruit like you are saying. You are saying that a vegetable is every part of the plant that is that is not a fruit. If you want to be stubborn and lazy and not use the search bar at the top, to spare 10 seconds to enlighten yourself, then i can't help you. Unless you want me to screen-cap the dictionary for you

First off, you retards need to stop using dictionaries until you learn what the word "colloquialism" means, because all you do is use them to support your argument.

(A colloquialism is an INCORRECT meaning of a word that is used often enough that it can be PERCEIVED as correct)

(An example: Look up "enormity". Enormity means "an evil action", yet the dictionary will say that it colloquially means largeness)

But, since YOU were too stubborn and lazy to look up facts to support YOUR point, here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable

why did you link me to the page that says i'm right. The link that i told you originally to you yourself look at, as a fact, that i supplied to support my argument.
are you trolling is that what this is.

"The noun vegetable means an edible plant or part of a plant, but usually excludes seeds and most sweet fruit. This typically means the leaf, stem, or root of a plant."

Please, learn to read.

"usually"
"In a non-biological sense, the meaning of this word is largely based on culinary and cultural tradition. Therefore, the application of the word is somewhat arbitrary and subjective"
This reiterates my original point which was that the word vegetable is "culinary" and "subjective" and thus has no firm definition.

I read just fine

i understand what a colloquialism is but please explain how that supports your argument.

"In a NON-BIOLOGICAL sense, the meaning of the word is largely based on CULINARY... tradition." (Hint: Biology is objective, the culinary world is subjective)

Now, I'd really love for you to look up the words "objective" and "subjective" and draw up a little compare and contrast diagram for yourself.

Well then if you don't mind please inform me what the biological definition is, you may if you like use this picture(clipped from dictionary.com) as a source, or by all means provide a credible source of you own.

You're an enormous fucking retard.

yet both wikipedia and the dictionary agree with me while you have found a couple of research papers that have likely fallen to your "colloquialism". From what I've experienced so far of your stubborn nature, i expect you to weak to admit defeat. Also Judging by your arbitrary name calling i think we both know you lost, but you'll never give in.

HAHAHAHA

Yes, Wikipedia and Dictionary.com are both more reliable than:

UCDavis Biology Department
The Lance Armstrong Association
The Indiana Board of Education
and the Oklahoma Board of Education

Nice try, child.

Here is a quote from [url deleted] a source you provided: " [url deleted]

also may i point out that [url deleted] sites Waynesworld on the matter. Which if you visit this "credible" source, it also goes on to agree with me.

Also not just dictionary.com, Mirriam-webster, Oxford-english, and i'm sure any other dictionary.

eh-erm... more name calling, just what you need to boost your argument.

Okay, have fun with life...

You ARE a complete retard... Life will be very difficult for you. This is the last thing I have to say on this matter.

Go home, you won.

1st source is Oklahoma state, second is livestrong

That doesn't change the definition of words...

And I put apples in my "normal vegetable" salad, so that point is moot.

yes he said culinary its a vegetable. otherwise you would put the tomato in the fruitsalade. but scientificly its a fruit he was right.

-_- you dont put tomatoes in a fruit salad because it doesnt taste good and fruit salads dont have every fruit in the world in it ive never seen a fruit salad with pomegranates or durian in it

That's not true either... I put sweet potatoes and ginger in my fruit salad.

No...

Vegetables are any part of that is inherent to the plant.

Fruits are not inherent to plants. They are detachable from plants, because they are housing for seeds.

Saying that a fruit is a vegetable is like saying that your baby is YOU.
