Catch 22. Nothing else I can say ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I mean yeah, it kind of is. Unfortunately when folks impersonate the clueless in bad faith the people who legitimately don't know stuff tend to get caught in the crossfire, and I say this as someone who is frequently clueless.
Best advice I can offer is to develop a thick skin about it and be willing to put the work in if someone helps you find the keywords to look up. The more of the background you can find yourself the better equipped you'll be to ask specific questions that are less likely to be suspected for JAQing us around.
true.
Nothing else, in all of the English language or otherwise! Oh, woe betide, the fates served upon them this fateful day, to be so choiceless in their utterance, cast afloat in all creation!
