That adverb.
How do you KNOW I deliberately did something? Maybe I didn't mean to...maybe I misunderstood. That, of all the things you supposedly read, you chose to comment on this?
And you can't deliberately misinterpret something. If you deliberately misinterpret something, we have another word for it: You're lying. There's no such thing as deliberately misinterpreting something. That's like saying, "He deliberately misjudged the trajectory of his car so he could run over a civilian."
Nah.
Voting Russtifinko.
Addendum: Roxy harps against voting people new to the site (that's my understanding of her ways).
Or maybe I'm deliberately misinterpreting something.
If vertically challenged = short, deliberately misinterpreted = lying. So yeah, I think you lied. Rattled much?
My word! I've incurred the Wrath of Epi! Someone save me! Have mercy!
"I do think it's suspicious that Epi deliberately misinterpreted this point."
The predicate here indicates a posteriori knowledge that I was being deceptive. That you add a phrase that does more than qualify (it negates what you imply) looks even worse to me.
If you think I'm a liar, come out and call me a liar. Don't use weasel words and say you're gonna read me tomorrow.
I read you today. I said I'd pursue you tomorrow. For someone so concerned with "weasel words", you don't seem to mind using them against me much.
Linki: I am at quarter-end in a finance job I started less than a month ago, so I'm very busy learning the ropes and doing quarter-end-ish things. In case I forgot to say before.
Double linki: Yes. Encouraged by some, viewed as risky by others.
