    That's not a turn of phrase, that's just a declarative sentence, also are you like their significant other or something?

      That’s not a turn of phrase, that’s just a declarative sentence

      You didn't know what it meant 20 minutes ago bud

      also are you like their significant other or something?

      No

      Like damn kiss-ass let them explain it for themself

      It's an incredibly widely used phrase

        lol I understood perfectly what they meant, I was contesting their claim and asking for PROOF, that's why I put "see" in quotation marks because I wanted to know where they had come across these made-up alienated people mad about pronoun struggle sessions

        No

        Goddamn Shrek in shiny armor over here

          How can one “see” people becoming alienated if the alienation leads them to not engage with threads or post

          Looks like you took it literally to me mate

          Goddamn Shrek in shiny armor over here

          What does that even mean

            Yes, I took the obvious declarative statement literally, as in they had "seen" people making posts or comments describing their deeply felt alienation over a boring-ass struggle session, and not simply talking out their ass making wild assume-oh I'm sorry "prEdiCtiOns" about shit they're just guessing is happening..somewhere??? You do realize your reading of their comment makes them look dumb af right?

            What does that even mean

            It means you're gonna get your swamp back, congratulations

              You still can't accept that "I can see [thing]" means "I predict" huh?

              It means you’re gonna get your swamp back, congratulations

              That didn't make it any clearer

                If I didn't think their sentence meant "I predict" I wouldn't have called it an assumption, and you still can't accept that regardless of whether it's a prediction, its still a declarative statement about something that will happen, not a "turn of phrase" I was being generous and assuming they had something to BACK UP THEIR DECLARATIVE PREDICTION, but you are right they were just making a baseless conjecture

                  That definitely looks like you thought they meant seeing with their eyeballs

                  And you still haven't explained the shrek thing

                    Uh yes, their prediction can't be confirmed if nobody actually sees the alienation they're predicting taking place, which makes their claim unfalsifiable horseshit, which is why I had assumed they had seen something to back that prediction up, and led to me asking them WHAT WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

                    Which led to you misunderstanding what the term "turn of phrase" means

                    Which led to me making a pronoun Faux pas, largely because I confused your pronouns with theirs?

                    Which led to you revealing you didn't have a childhood since you don't know what Shrek is

                    Which led to me explaining the basics of ENG 12 to you

                    Which led to you somehow assuming I hadn't realized they were making a prediction despite the fact I had indeed realized that the whole time, which is why I asked that question in my first comment

                    Did I miss anything, holy shit what a dumb fuckin thread
