    I prefer not to start petty little battles at LEMMY. I’m sorry that you have never heard the phrase: Jack, make sure we get that delivery by today!

    It’s English. That’s the fun of it. You might try it.

      Every comment here says you’re in the wrong, and your reaction to that is “No, it is everyone else who is wrong, not me.” Learn to take a hint.

          The point of a system is what it does.

          Language is for communicating to other people. The other people you communicated to think you did it poorly (because you did).

          It’s ok to make mistakes. It’s not ok to refuse to acknowledge them.
