> what!? why do i even both speaking at all!?
which is how i feel quite a lot on these boards.
snell... helped me.
because he(?) helped me articulate the difficulty i have with people who are all like 'oh, i get what you mean' 'i TOTALLY understand you' 'COMPELETELY get you' 'i'm JUST LIKE YOU' and other nonsense...
when they demonstrate complete inability to parse the first half of the second sentence, much of the time. and / or inability to form basic f*ck*ng inferences, indeed (i mean, really, modus ponens is f*ck*ng high tech in comparision).
but what would i know...
i remember when i was a kid and people were all like 'oh yeah, she can read it, but she doesn't really UNDERSTAND what she is reading'.
uh huh.
thats why i did so well on the comprehension tests - when they actually bothered to do them.
for sure.
people are so f*ck*ng understanding. and my life has profited consdierably because of it.
