I prefer not to start petty little battles at LEMMY. I’m sorry that you have never heard the phrase: Jack, make sure we get that delivery by today!
It’s English. That’s the fun of it. You might try it.
Every comment here says you're in the wrong, and your reaction to that is "No, it is everyone else who is wrong, not me." Learn to take a hint.
Not a popularity contest.
The point of a system is what it does.
Language is for communicating to other people. The other people you communicated to think you did it poorly (because you did).
It's ok to make mistakes. It's not ok to refuse to acknowledge them.
It’s not okay to ignore 227 upvotes. It’s okay. Some folks get it and some don’t.
I... I don't get it.
Explanation how I understand it:
Being poor shortens your life
Begin shortening the rich's lives [by making them poor through expropriation], starting today
It's super confusingly phrased, tho
Hey friendo I think you accidentally a word
Example: Chuck, I need that report by today!
I think you may be parsing something wrong, or perhaps you're ESL and something is translating weird to your native tongue. Idk friendo, it just rolls off the tongue weird and relies on a different interpretation of the phrase for each panel, it's almost like "anti-wordplay". You hit the nail on the head, but it's a bent nail and it's not gonna drive.
Getting a post upvoted into the three digits isn't a given at Lemmy. That a few people don't get it or appreciate It isn't on me and It surely isn't a big deal. I notice you yourself have never contributed a post here. Try It out.
