"I'm suspect that" ~= "I doubt that"
- dguaraglia 10y agoFunny, "I suspect" could actually work both ways, but "I'm suspect" kind of clears the ambiguity (but only because of usage, not because of any actual grammatical artifact.) English is such a crappy language sometimes!
- devishard 10y agoMy guess is Quequau doesn't speak American English; I've heard Brits and Aussie's say "I'm suspect" a few times, but never Americans.
- gh02t 10y agoI figured it was just an extra 'm and dropped the il, so "I suspect that... is illegal." Haven't heard "I'm suspect" used before, but either way I guess we know what they meant.
- jessaustin 10y agoThanks for the translation; that particular idiosyncratic usage defeated me.
