Con-grrrrrrr-atttt-yoo-lay-shuns. Do you now intend to sell your time for money? If so, how?
1. Case A involves an incorrect understanding, and case B involves no understanding at all. It may be true that an incorrect understanding is as worthless as no understanding at all, but the distinction still stands.
2. I agree that Dovina manifests an undesirable degree of oafishness in her attempt to exhibit simultaneously two mutually exclusive alternatives .
2. I agree that Dovina manifests an undesirable degree of oafishness in her attempt to exhibit simultaneously two mutually exclusive alternatives .
There is also a distinction between "A more descriptive title might have X" and "Maybe a more descriptive title might have X".
A. I say: "You might like it". I am saying that there is a possibility of you liking it.
B. I say: "Maybe you might like it". I am saying that there may or may not be a possibility of you liking it.
A. I say: "You might like it". I am saying that there is a possibility of you liking it.
B. I say: "Maybe you might like it". I am saying that there may or may not be a possibility of you liking it.
But there is a distinction between "misunderstanding someone" and "failing to know what someone means".
A. You say: "Ooonscallashihough". You use the word to mean "dung". I think you use the word to mean antelope. I have misunderstood you.
B. You say: "Ooonscallashihough". You use the word to mean "dung". I have never heard the word before and cannot even begin to guess what it means. I fail to know what you mean.
Now do you see the difference? You are an exceptionally foolish young man.
