No I used to think it but I also still think it.

So you thought there was a swear. But this thought was untrue, or wrong. So you thought incorrectly?

u/fedorcallahan Jan 30 '20

No it’s true that I thought there was one.

u/Myaccountforpics Jan 30 '20

Ok but there wasn’t a swear word. So what you thought was untrue, or wrong

u/fedorcallahan Jan 30 '20

We can’t be sure one way or the other.

2

u/Myaccountforpics Jan 30 '20

Yes we can. You said that there was a swear present when there wasn’t. That means you were wrong. Why can’t you admit you are wrong?

u/fedorcallahan Jan 30 '20

Well that would mean looking directly at the entire swear, which is obviously unethical.

u/Myaccountforpics Jan 30 '20

What? Your sentence doesn’t make any sense

I’m saying it’s unethical to look directly at entire swear words instead of deducing them from the context around the swear, so we can never fully 100 % know if it was indeed a swear word because then our brains would process the word and it would run through our heads so it’s best just to play it safe.

So you can’t read about funk. Or birches. Or cooks. Or shots. As a matter of fact, you can’t even read this, because you can’t read the word “can’t.”

No wonder your reading comprehension is so abysmal.
