I'm sorry I wasn't aware this we are doing is to be taken and done with the scientific pulchritude of a peer-reviewed journal. This is obviously an informal conversation and I've clearly stated in my comment that "I've seen" a different situation "in many social contexts". Which I, again, informally generalize into a phenomenon I consider common enough to be mentioned. I do not intend to provide you with statistical backing for what amounts to, again, clearly obviously anecdotal evidence. In short: Jesus, if you disagree or have a different experience, it's OK, let me know, no need to go straight into a formal semantics discussion.

What does your completely anecdotal experience add to the conversation? Especially seeing that 35% of EU cell phone users own iPhones? It means about as much as the old Slashdot meme “I haven’t watched TV in a decade. Do people still watch TV?” Could it possibly be that your experience is not representative of the broader EU?

  > What does your completely anecdotal experience add to the conversation? My original comment was answering an existing comment that literally started with "I saw a humorous exchange at a social event" and described literally an anecdote. I'm hoping you'll see why it's obvious that my comment was very much fit to the existing conversation that was already happening.
