"I changed it, because my informal language gave trolls too much ammunition to make a distracting non-point."
I am polite, point out that much of what you say is useful, and thank you for a correction, and I'm a troll. Reddit is that way, friend. -->
As for my "misinterpreting" the meaning of what you said, there was no misinterpretation at all. 'A friend told me her results were different than mine / I now know that google serves different results.' Without more context, the only reasonable interpretation here is that you learned the latter from the former, there is no misinterpretation.
"My business went under / now I'm broke." If you interpreted the latter as a result of the former, you would be correct, not mistaken. ;)
