You picked the second definition on Webster’s because the first one made you look like a clown. The second one is even marked “excuse” because it’s being used in the literary sense and not in the sense of apologising to someone.
Fucking lol
No I used my preferred dictionary
Urban dictionary? You skipped the first definition because it included the word sorry and made you look like a moron.
Projection much?
Nah, been happily married 10 years, ya incel. Sounds like I hit a nerve.
It’s the second definition online for me
Which means you intentionally scrolled past the most common definition which requires you to be sorry because it proved you wrong.
The spirit of apology is not saying sorry dude.
Good luck being single the rest of your life lol
I wonder how long you had to scroll to find that one. Taking an overly literal definition instead of understanding the context and spirit of what an apology is: the last bastion of the guy who cares more about winning than being right.
An apology does have to say sorry or it’s just an explanation. If they aren’t sorry, they’re not apologising, they’re just telling you what happened in a way that takes 0 responsibility.
I know all I need to about you from this one simple statement and now realise you’ll be too pig headed to approach this in any way other than antagonistically in a desperate attempt to browbeat the other person into submission. Because for you, it’s not about reaching consensus, it’s about your own ego.
You do you bro, I don’t care enough about anyone in this debate to bother responding anymore. Peace.
They didn’t apologize, they doubled down with some of the most insipid bullshit about pronouns not existing in English and how they’re “depronouning english”, despite defaulting to using the masculine, instead of just saying “oh yeah, I didn’t see the name, I’ll edit my comment”.
You defending some guy who’s wrong for…reasons?
Did you just try “U mad bro?”. What are you, 10 years old? That was probably your only takeaway because you have the reading comprehension of a 10 year old.
You’re being absurdly literal - 25% of US citizens within the context of a study does NOT linguistically suggest it means 25% of total living US people. The fact that no one else in this thread shares your interpretation shows you completely lack the ability to parse basic comprehension of the English language without taking the absolute most literal path, which given the nuances of the English language, is usually the wrong interpretation.
That they’re using door dash at all.
Ioniqs are a really great car. If I didn’t live in a country where you can get a BYD Seal super cheaply, I’d have gotten an Ioniq.
Do you think any statement which starts “x% of Americans…” Suggests they surveyed every single American alive?
Maybe they should specify “alive” though, because not telling you they’re not including past Americans who have died is dishonest.
Lol, you realise the 1. And 2. On a dictionary imply separate contexts, right? You intentionally chose the context for apology that applies to a defence of criticism in literature, not a person to person apology for a mistake made.
You’ve made yourself a clown and now you’re doubling down. It’s so rich, I love it. I’m going to end this little exchange on this delicious high note. Enjoy your weekend with your hand, buddy, because I won’t respond anymore, I’ll just let you impotently stew in it!
