He’s never told the truth in his life. How hard would it be to say “no, of course not.”

Context is as important to language as syntax.

Context is important to the message, yes. But if I need the context to understand a particular word, I would understand the message just as well without that word.

Yea. Not helpful.

I’m aware of the existence of contranyms. None of the examples you gave apply, as they just have different meanings, or the same leaving with different connotations.

Wasn’t he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

Right, that’s “speaking figuratively.” There are rules for that.

But a word that means the opposite of what it means is not a useful word.

Are we expecting the Democratic party to actually support him? Seems the national leadership would rather see someone else in his spot.

Can Trump prove his citizenship, if this policy goes through?

I love me some Stratigo.

Indeed it is so.

Nevertheless, assholes.

I’m trying to determine if we are using words to mean the same things. It seems we are not.

If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn’t I used a computer to write it?

What liberty are you talking about? The liberty of approved leaders? It’s a failure because we voted for a bad leader?

We got the leader we voted for. The failure is in the people.

That’s not my idea of liberty at all. But you can’t say the ballot box failed, just because the people elected the worst president in the history of people in suits.

Also, that whole thing is nonsense of the highest order.
