Honestly, what is happening with language these days?
It's utterly preposterous! When you intend use a word against someone at least know the definition of said word to avoid offending the opposing party or appearing to be an idiot!
EXHIBIT A: LIE
KNOW WHAT A LIE IS BEFORE YOU CALL ME A LIAR.
Misinterpreting information is not lying. Being unable to decipher a stupid timetable is not a lie. I am sincerely sorry for having passed on the incorrect information to you, but please do not promulgate me as a liar! That is utter catachresis! I know I'm not perfect but I at least TRY not to lie. Honestly. Let's explore the definition of 'lie' shall we?
Dictionary.com
A false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
See that? "deliberate intent to deceive" My alleged intent was non-existent!! Yes what I said was a false statement - BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! That's how I interpreted that bloody timetable, my apologies.
Would you like a second opinion?
Wordnet.princeton
tell an untruth; pretend with intent to deceive
"Intent to deceive" THAT SEEMS TO KEEP POPPING UP DOESN'T IT!
Gosh, perhaps reading a dictionary would actually be beneficial to some people.
That's my rant for today.
Until next time -
- deeh xoxox
P.S Privatisation is soon! I'll be as censored as Russian Literature under Stalin soon!
