- adrianN 10y agoYes, especially when I reply on a thread that started with historic predictions of the end of the world (you know, the seas turning to blood, the four horsemen...). I'm not a native English speaker so it took a number of outraged replies before I remembered that some people use "the end of the world" to mean things other than, well, the end of the world.
