The Next Web: Bored programmers on Reddit are competing to design the shittiest volume slider
You never know what to expect from programmers once boredom starts to muddle with their otherwise highly rational brains. Last week, one bored coder took to Reddit to show off an dreadfully designed ...

'Arguing' as a noun is the process generally. Only 'argument' can be used for a specific one that lasts ten minutes or happened twice on Tuesday, so you would only want a plural for 'argument'.
They're all wrong because "always" should be before the verb. "How he always argues with me" or "how he's always arguing with me" would be the most usual answers.
Would there be any differences in meaning when the first part of the sentence (1) is changed from “There's no arguing” to “It’s impossible to argue”? (1)There's no arguing with my wife on how many children to have.
"Arguing" is more general in meaning. It refers to any sort of prolonged verbal disagreement. "Bickering" specifically refers to arguing over minor matters, or engaging in pointless, petty arguments. Bickering is a certain form of arguing.
He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white" My try is: "Los otros (animales) decían de Squealer que podía hacer del blanco negro (ser super persuasivo)"

Ah, yes, it seems to be. On the face of it, it seems to have the opposite of the intended meaning. 'There is no argument that' normally means (or to me normally means) that it is obviously true; there is no point arguing against it. We are all agreed that these constructs are unworthy. However, they need it to mean that no reasonable person could make an argument for it: no-one would say these ...
"This small detail is not worth an argument, in my opinion" (grammatically correct???) "This small detail is not worth arguing about, in my opinion" (reference sentence) Have both sentences the same meaning? Is the first one grammatically correct? Thanks in advance
All of them are correct. The first and the third mean much the same. If there's a difference it could be that the third suggests you've been arguing about different things, while the first doesn't have that same suggestion. The second has a slightly different meaning. Please tell us your context. Have the arguments stopped? Are they likely to continue?
have been arguing a lot vs. have had a lot of arguments vs. have been ...
