Jeez! Don't it lose something when you have to explain in minute detail the subtleties of comprehension, humour, the meaning of life, etc, etc, etc to liberals!

Like when somebody says "I'm sure..." it might mean he's 100% certain or it might mean he's not certain but optimistic, depending on the context. Years ago we were arranging a meeting in Ireland and wanted a particular guy to attend. So rang Paddy to check, and he said "Oh, I'm sure he'll be there, but I'm not sure". Only the Irish could get both senses in the one sentence, bless them.

Now sit down, concentrate and let me explain this to you.

Someone might say as a generalism that "everyone's got tattoos these days". Of course everyone hasn't really got tattoos these days and the person making this statement doesn't really mean that absolutely EVERYONE has a tattoo. They mean that these days so many have tattoos that it seems like tattoos are universal. It's a comparison to something that has gained a lot in popularity. Of course, conversely, statements like this can also be used the other way around to mean something has declined greatly in popularity, COMPARED to years/decades ago. This is what was being alluded to with the decline in British manufacturing.

Now this is the last I will say on the subject because your total lack of any comprehension and evident pedantic slowness is frankly quite boring. As are you.

Jeez! Don't it lose something when you have to explain in minute detail the subtleties of comprehension, humour, the meaning of life, etc, etc, etc to liberals!

Probably not British, so doesn't comprehend how language is used.

Or just isolated from the real world, never had friends so didn't get the hang of conversation.

Bleep, computer detects error in statement, invalid words.

That's racist.

Just kidding, obviously. "Yerr no" is a popular Irish-English phrase. One possible theory is that the Irish language allegedly doesn't have words for Yes or No...

Yes or No in Irish - Tá vs Níl when to use them - IrishLanguage.ie

There is no Irish for yes and no. That's right, there are no all-purpose or generic words in Irish just to mean them. So how do we answer questions in the

irishlanguage.ie

Nonsense. You are a Brexit voter - own it.

That’s no secret noseall on how I voted ( lol) do some research on previous years ago posts

Neither is it a secret that I was / am of the opinion that there should never have been a referendum in the first place

Any one who does like how I voted well tough and they can go and do one

My first vote sine the 1980s ( Neil Kinnock) and all going well my last
