Hi! Welcome to English 101.

Today, you get to learn that the phrase "selling" here means "recommending".

It has nothing to do with literal transaction of goods or services for money. Instead, it is based on the concept of "salesmanship", or convincing someone of the value of something - be it an idea or product. Recommending something is a method of selling it.

Fine, I'm not recommending anything. Perhaps someone else noticed this and commented "that's not how you sell..

You literally said you "definitely recommend" it. Are you drunk?

English lesson 2: you were not being told you shouldn't recommend it.

You were being made fun of for HOW you were attempting to recommend it.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Alright, no need to put words in my mouth, you insisted on calling it recommending.

Recommending can be a synonym for selling, but it isn't in this case. I do recommend it, but I do not care what you do: I'm not selling.

A word applicable here: 'nuance'. Not everything is just as your first impression tells you

"I can definitely recommend it"

Yeah. You did. Not my words. Your words.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

That is selling, as I explained to you. Saying "nuh-uh!" Doesn't make you any more competent in the English language.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

And I disagree with your opinion. You use language as you like, and I'll say what I mean instead of what you think I mean

It's not an opinion. It's a fact. You want to purposefully remain ignorant? That's your stupid call.

The problem is, you're not saying what you mean, you're just arguing with two random people on the internet because you don't know what they mean, and refuse to learn when you've had it explained to you.

Fuck you're dumb as shit.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Keep it up Chief! Words still have different meanings!

No, it's the same meaning. You just refuse to learn because being ignorant gets your dick hard.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Perhaps, but if you wanna see that you've gotta get to r/onlyfans

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Well then, thank you for supporting me!

You're really not good with English, are you? This is pathetic. I don't need to "support" you to know.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

You're only one feeling things here, pedo

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

what is motivating you to respond then?

What is motivating you to be a piece of trash?

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I dunno, your mouth seems like a nice trashcan

I didn't put words in your mouth.

They are literally your words. You put your words in your mouth. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Recommending can be a synonym for selling, but it isn't in this case. I do recommend it, but I do not care what you do: I'm not selling.

It is in this case. It is in every case. You were selling it. You were not putting a product on the market for exchange, but you were selling the idea of ownership.

There is no "first impression", there is what you were doing.

The issue here is just your limited English vocabulary, and your own anger at your ignorance.

It's not a big deal. You didn't understand something, and you had it explained to you. It's over. Stop trying to argue, learn something new, put on your big boy pants and move on.

I mean seriously, we can all read your first comment. Did you forget what you wrote?

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

slow down Chief, you are getting too invested here

I'm not investing anything here. There is no money involved. Stop putting words in my mouth.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I want the interest back on my investment.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿคก fuck you're stupid.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck you're stupid, cuntsable.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I dunno, how invested are you Chief?

You're the one who claimed I was, cuntsable.

You may wanna check the context, :p Fun convo tho!

And in this context, you were selling.

Fine, I'm not recommending anything.

Also

I can definitely recommend
