- neolog 6y agohow is it an assumption? it's almost a definition.
- ashtonkem 6y ago"Odd" implies that the familiar is "normal", which tends towards there being a right and wrong way to do mundane things. If I came over to your house and said "that's an odd way to clean your house" you would reasonably assume that I think you're doing it wrong but am being polite. If they'd said "surprising", "confusing", or "unfamiliar", those are all statements that are relative to the speaker's experience.
