I was only engaging in hyper dulia, not adoring her. Can't you tell the difference?

It's obvious that you can't tell the difference. It's hyperdulia; not hyper dulia.

Look it up before you continue to look like a fool.

It's obvious that you can't tell the difference. It's hyperdulia; not hyper dulia. Look it up before you continue to look like a fool.

Oh, you mean "from Latin hyper- + Medieval Latin dulia service" must be rendered as one word (thus highschool as well?) because it means something different when not rendered as one word ("you can't tell the difference") and makes one look like a fool? That conclusion makes one look foolish.

Yes, hyperdulia is warranted, but not because hyper dulia means something different. Yet some people are hyper-sensitive to anything that impugns Catholic hyper-dulia/hyperdulia.

Nonetheless, I actually do appreciate the critique since I will use hyperdulia in the future, at least since some Catholics actually say hyper dulia means something different than hyper-dulia/hyperdulia.

I wasn’t commenting about your intelligence.

I was commenting about your lack of intelligence.

[daniel1212]

I wasn’t commenting about your intelligence. I was commenting about your lack of intelligence.

Which reflects your intelligence, since that you were indeed commenting about my intelligence. As does arguing that since Catholics does not describe their hyper-veneration of Mary as latria but only hyperdulia then they cannot be said to be worshiping her ("it can only look and sound like we are").

Meanwhile, as said, imagining that there is a difference in meaning btwn hyper dulia and hyperdulia - and which makes one look like a fool - negatively reflects your intelligence. You should have simply stated that the proper spelling is hyperdulia. And perhaps that the proper use of compound words should be learned in high school (not highschool).

You could have also added that the Oxford University Dictionary finds that in English,

The earliest known use of the noun hyperdulia is in the mid 1500s.
OED's earliest evidence for hyperdulia is from 1531, in the writing of William Tyndale, translator of the Bible and religious reformer. (https://aleteia.org/2023/10/20/understanding-veneration-in-catholicism/)

* From Medieval Latin hyperdūlīa, from hyper-, from Ancient Greek ὑπέρ (hupér, “above”) + dūlīa, from Ancient Greek δουλείᾱ (douleíā, “slavery”), from δοῦλος (doûlos, “slave”)
