A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not amazing that you understand the omission of an unnecessary word
where did i say it was?
It's not amazing for anyone to understand if you leave out an unnecessary word. It happens in all languages, even those not connected to civilization at large because humans intuitively understand. You don't need to explain how you immerse yourself in language or anything, it's impossible to misunderstand the omission of an unnecessary word
I simply gave context to how I learn English, nowhere did I say that it's amazing that I understood an omission of a word, in fact I said that I never noticed how it was omitted until it was pointed out. What are you on about?
I am telling you something Why are you so defensive? You're entire argument implies that it is interesting that omitting a word can be understood
You misunderstood what I wrote and are arguing with me about something I didn't say, you made up that implication yourself
What did I misunderstand?
I have no idea dude, once again - I do not know what you're on about
Lol nice interaction "you misunderstood idk what you just did have a good day"
