- musicale 3y agoThe interesting things that one can learn about English usage on HN. ;-)
- freedomben 3y agoYep, it may be more common in some English-speaking cultures, but in the midwest of the US it's extremely common to say stuff like, "I'll never forgive him for <thing>" and it's not meant to be taken literally. A more literal translation would be, "I'm very disappointed in this person's decision to <thing>."
