As the winner of the most American Parliamentary Debate Association National Championships and the 2014, 2016 and 2018 World Universities Debating Championships, it is consistently one of the world's most successful debate clubs.
Isn't that a bit arrogant? Does HCDU keep track of all the clubs debating in other languages around the world? Or is it actually just one of the world's most successful English-language debate clubs? In fact, while the article mentions that HCDU competes with a few universities in England, it says nothing about competing with English-speaking clubs in any other countries besides England (and I'm assuming they don't compete in non-English languages; certainly that would be mentioned too).
So really, what's the point of describing them on a global scale? It may seem like I'm just inviting debate here—and maybe you're right; it would, after all, be thematic—but still. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:37, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And why Debating Union, rather than just Debate Union? That's what they do, right? Would you call the swim team the swimming team?
"I say, Charles, I've been invited to join the swimming team." "Really? And what is it they do?" "Why, swimming, of course." "Splendid—there's nothing like a good swimming episode now and then to clear the mind and prepare one for one's studies, is there?" "I should say not." "Rather."
