    The word “see” is a ‘turn of phrase’ now, since when?

    "I can see [thing i predict will happen]" has been a turn of phrase in english for centuries

      That's not a turn of phrase, that's just a declarative sentence, also are you like their significant other or something?

      Like damn kiss-ass let them explain it for themself

        You didn't know what it meant 20 minutes ago bud

        No

        Like damn kiss-ass let them explain it for themself

        It's an incredibly widely used phrase

          lol I understood perfectly what they meant, I was contesting their claim and asking for PROOF, that's why I put "see" in quotation marks because I wanted to know where they had come across these made-up alienated people mad about pronoun struggle sessions

          No

            How can one “see” people becoming alienated if the alienation leads them to not engage with threads or post

            Looks like you took it literally to me mate

            Goddamn Shrek in shiny armor over here

            What does that even mean

              Yes, I took the obvious declarative statement literally, as in they had "seen" people making posts or comments describing their deeply felt alienation over a boring-ass struggle session, and not simply talking out their ass making wild assume-oh I'm sorry "prEdiCtiOns" about shit they're just guessing is happening..somewhere??? You do realize your reading of their comment makes them look dumb af right?

              What does that even mean

              It means you're gonna get your swamp back, congratulations

                You still can't accept that "I can see [thing]" means "I predict" huh?

                It means you’re gonna get your swamp back, congratulations

                That didn't make it any clearer

                  If I didn't think their sentence meant "I predict" I wouldn't have called it an assumption, and you still can't accept that regardless of whether it's a prediction, its still a declarative statement about something that will happen, not a "turn of phrase" I was being generous and assuming they had something to BACK UP THEIR DECLARATIVE PREDICTION, but you are right they were just making a baseless conjecture

                    That definitely looks like you thought they meant seeing with their eyeballs

                    And you still haven't explained the shrek thing
