Pressuring everyone to add "practically speaking" to every assertion or statement is pedantry gone too far.

- BinaryIdiot 11y agoIf you have to add "practically speaking" to a statement then I would argue your statement is poor in the first place. There is a difference in signing away a "liberty" and signing a contract. A really, really huge difference. Let's just speak clearly.
- cwyers 11y agoWell, now I know why you're called "BinaryIdiot."
- brazzledazzle 11y agoI can't agree. Context is almost always a sufficient indicator. If you really can't distinguish the difference between what's literally said/written and the intent I do feel bad for you but the reality is that most people can do it just fine.
