The point of language is to convey meaning. Did you understand the meaning? Yes. Mission accomplished. Your whinge is just a social signal about how old/wise/complicated/sophisticated you are. You know it is, stare into yourself and see it for yourself. Then pick a worthy goal.
- armatav 4y agoYeah but let him complain, why get so attached to his interpretation. “Then pick a worthy goal”
- fleetwoodsnack 4y agoMaybe it’s just me, but it feels superficial. The comment doesn’t engage at all with the substance of the article, and instead focuses on an orthogonal observation about a writing flourish that doesn’t appear anywhere in the article again. As a comment it’s a distraction not unlike the very thing it’s criticizing. Seems hypocritical and self-congratulatory; but again, that’s just me.
