This was on the pages Zara Young  and  Mosasaurus, although the actual fighting between us occured on his, Collector1's, and my message wall. Most of these wall posts have been removed; only the one he interrupted and the the one he made on his own wall still exist.

His suggested word choice was "dropped" and my suggested word choice was "fell" in regards to how Zara wound up in the Mosasaurus' tank. I don't know what his stance on the matter is now, but his argument at the time was this:

"You insist on using the word 'fell' or 'falls' instead of 'Dropped' the later being the more accurate verb since the more grammatically correct term is dropped when regarding something that has fallen from something's grip, whether intentional or not. The word Fall or Fell is used to describe something that was upright and then fell over, not something that has fallen from someone's or something's grip. Technically it could be said that way - with the use of fall, but dropped is more technical in its application in this instance."

At the time, my argument was "dropped" implies intent and we didn't know yet if the Pteranodon intentionally dropped her. My argument now is the Pteranodon that picks her up isn't the same one that drops her and it's better to just cut to the ultimate outcome of that moment; her falling into the lagoon.
