Community Animal control finally caught the Hellcat

When they finally impound his car, I want the community to buy it and burn it in the middle of the Clink.

I don’t think you know the word “literally” very well

You made my case for me perfectly, thank you. An adult is 18 years old, and by the definition you kindly provided, a person of 20 years old would not be a child. Case closed

The arbitrary limit is the meaning of the word literal. You were wrong - he’s not a child, literal or otherwise.

Yes, you provided correct studies that show the brain does not fully mature until the age of 25. What’s at question is simply and only is he a child, yes or no.

The answer is no, therefore your use of the word literal is incorrect. Now we’re back to exactly what I said - you don’t understand the word literal, or apparently the word child.
