I tried to clarify in a sibling comment, because it seemed like maybe people misinterpreted this comment, possibly because they don't speak Hindi. Does that one help, or am I just digging myself deeper?
If you think that other comment is also bad, I promise not to be upset if you [dead] it.
- dang 2y agoAh ok - not knowing that word, I pattern-matched it to, er, one I do know.
- kragen 2y agoThis is a persistent problem for people named Diksha or Dikshit (roughly "doctor of divinity", one who has received diksha) and probably one my original comment made worse rather than better. I hoped everyone who didn't know the word would look it up, but that was impossibly naive.
- dredmorbius 2y agoCould we un-flag the original comment?
- dang 2y agoThe problem is that readers are likely to interpret it the way I did and then wonder why it wasn't flagged.
- dredmorbius 2y agoFair enough.
- kragen 2y agoYeah, dang is right, as evidenced by it having been downvoted to -4.
