To quote more fully:
"As someone who had paid money to remove cubelets before this was introduced ID feel somewhat ripped off." Note the emphasized (by me) "ID" or "I'd", aka "I would". This one word changes the entire case of the verb and implies empathizing with a hypothetical victim versus actually being one.
- Xcelerate 14y agoAh... good catch. Still, my question remains for someone.
- TeMPOraL 14y agoExcept... can you use "id" instead of "I'd"? My language parser also rejected this as invalid token and I ended up interpreting that sentence the same way Xcelerate did.
- gosu 14y agoI interpret your sentence as follows: in the "hypothetical" case that this comes to pass, then you, as someone who had paid money, would feel ripped off. When you say "would" here, I don't think that it makes your "as someone who..." clause hypothetical. The way that I'd say this is: If I were someone who paid, then I'd feel ripped off.
