What it means is that you’re not well informed. It also means you spouted off to Red Badger without doing adequate research to really know what you’re talking about. You’re a hypocrite, in other words.
There's just one teensy problem with your argument against my point that “1. It’s Italy, not Austria.”
That would be the fact that “1. It’s Italy, not Austria.”
I love learning about history and it's really interesting background you provide on the status of the province from 1815 to 1918. Really, very interesting. Thanks for the background.
And now back to the present, which is what people are discussing when they use the present tense
Because in the present: “1. It’s Italy, not Austria.”
“2. It’s a strange local Italian tradition where young Italians dress up like Krampus and run around hitting random people with bendable branches.”
This was NOT an Italian tradition. It is Austrian. You were wrong from the beginning. I wasn’t. Deal with it.
