My wording was tentative, a likelihood, possibility, probability etc.

That’s quite DIFFERENT from a brazenly flat statement of ‘fact’ that’s 100% untrue.

I gather your dictionary does not have tentative in it?

I also noted that another FREEPER, who likely knew, asserted such.

I also enjoyed tweaking you around the issue. So, are you insisting that you are not? Thanks for the clarification. Couldn’t get you to clarify it then.

Very fascinating how we read and use language so DIFFERENTLY.

Sounds like that old SAME/DIFFERENT problem that naysayers seem to have soooooooooooo much trouble with.

Sure, just like mine. I wasn’t actually there when you were abducted by aliens. Just holding out the possibility.
