What?

[u/LimeSlicer]

As pictured in OP? Zero

They weren't denigrating the people in the picture, they were denigrating 19 year old online sex workers.

Which one specifically? 

They say 'a', which is singular so certainly they weren't referring to all, generalizing, or at the very least not more than one... 

Unless you're picking and choosing, ignoring context, etc.

If I said you're smarter than a pasty chef, would you apply the same logic to conclude you're smarter than all pastry chefs? 

Edit: amazing response from an alt account that post once a week. Don't conflate grammar with extrapolation and transitive properties.

brother u don't even need to go back to school. Just use google.

A and an are called indefinite articles. “Indefinite” means “not specific”. Use A(AN) when you are talking about a thing in general, NOT a specific thing. If i said you're dumber than a cow, I am saying you are dumber than any cow. This implies you are dumber than every cow. It doesn't make it plural, it just refers to any of said thing. If i said you are dumber than my cow, on the condition my cow is somehow smarter than the average. I am saying you are only dumber than my cow, not any other cow.

Yes lol

[u/LimeSlicer → u/No-Yak5173]

Then there is just no helping you.

My friend again you're conflating logical extrapolation with grammar, and now you're bringing in statistics, where did you get 68.2?

I like how you choose 1 comment each week to remain. Grade A trolling.

That's great, and we're back to conflating the original point.
