People who say "obligated"
It's "obliged" you fucktards...

It's used as a legal term
so I'd imagine it's a valid word.

Please don't ruin my moment of hatred.
Why use 4 syllables when two will do.

I'm sure you mean
"when two will suffice"

they are both valid
obligated is used to mean that you don't have a choice. Whereas obliged is a bit looser.

Er..
Obligate = "by necessity" so if you're obligated to do something means you're forced to do it by the laws of nature, physics, etc. You're obligated to keep breathing if you want to stay alive, but nobody is forcing you to.

Oblige = "To constrain by physical legal social or moral means" (as well as the meanings to do with being grateful), so if you're obliged to do something you're being forced to do it by someone else. You're obliged to breathe (out, usually) when someone else punches you in the gut when you're holding your breath.

I'll change my handle to Mr. Logic soon.

I sense a "Fail" in the Force.....
...like the sound of a million browsers opening up "Fail" images and being linked rapidly.

I'd bend over and take it like a man if I were you.

I stand corrected

Nope. Stand your ground.
It's admirably on topic - you can't get a more irrational hatred than one based on exactly the type of fucktarditude you're claiming to despise.

Yay!
I feel marginally better for showing my ignorance of vocabulary now.

I like where you're headed with this logic.
I will wager it can be applied to lots of posts this week.
