What a horrible response
- nobody9999 2y agoThank you. I appreciate your point of view. Have a wonderful day!
- BoiledCabbage 2y agoGlad I could educate you!
- d1sxeyes 2y agoYours is not much better. However, to OP: a facetious response quoting literature is quite unkind. While you may feel that 'audit' means something particular, the fact is that it has a couple of definitions and none of them are immediately apparent (to me, a native speaker). It's also quite prone to being used as a 'false friend' for something who speaks romance languages in which the normal verb for 'listen' is close to the Latin. Bear in mind that this is the internet, and no-one can be sure whether English is anyone's first language. As an external observer, I can't tell if you are a native English speaker, and I cannot tell whether the person asking the question is a native English speaker. A better way to approach the question would have been just to give the benefit of the doubt and answer simply and clearly. (BTW: there's some interesting discussion of your point of view here: https://blog.oup.com/2022/11/the-return-of-humpty-dumpty-who-is-the-ultimate-arbiter-of-meaning/ https://blog.oup.com/2022/11/the-return-of-humpty-dumpty-who...)
