- TimorousBestie 1y agoIt’s the usual trick of writing something so that an uninterested reader assuming the common meaning of words will be completely nonplussed, but a lawyer or judge reading such a document adversarially will reach many unexpected conclusions.
- NoImmatureAdHom 1y ago"nonplussed" means "bewildered" or "really confused". Maybe you mean "not worried"? If you mean "not worried", then yeah, I bet you're right that there are a bunch of things that could be entailed by the language that aren't obvious. Good point.
- TimorousBestie 1y ago“Nonplussed” also means “unfazed, unaffected, or unimpressed.” A bit like “cleave” in that way. But yes, you read me correctly.
