I mean I do agree with the fact that the bill doesn't provide funding for the condoms just that the schools need to provide it. That sounds pretty dumb to me.
I mean but is there explicit funding for providing toilet paper?
I do think schools are under funded but that's a lousy reason imo
I don't have a strong opinion either way, but it does kind of make sense that loading an unfunded mandate on already under-funded public schools isn't the best way to come at this problem.
It's an American English thing. Sometimes to make a statement sound less intense, people start by saying "I mean." It's probably regional, but I'm not sure where people do and don't say it.
You came in here and misunderstood something and now you are calling everybody else idiots? Nobody else had a problem understanding what the comment meant except you.
You seem to have a problem understanding English and that's okay. It's a stupid language sometimes. Just don't take it out on everybody else.
You seem to, because you do. You openly admitted to it in your first comment here.
🤦 if you don't like it, you don't have to speak it. But if you don't understand - that's on you.
I mean, you're not actually commenting on the substance of the statement that was made, you're cherry picking a single word and calling it out like you've somehow refuted the whole argument. That sounds pretty dumb to me.
I don't recall voting you boss of english.
Ooh, looks like you mean. Real mean.
And you get to join the block list.
No. You.
No. You.
"mean" refers to "meaning", as in the definition, or understanding.
It is similar in use to ie, (id est, or that is). An explanation.
"Say" makes no sense in this context. Say is stating something, but he isn't stating, he is explaining.
That's normal English phrasing. So... everyone in the English speaking world is the "kind of idiot" you refer to.
It’s a very common English idiom to start a sentence that way. Are you ignorant?
I mean a lot of people do actually speak like this where I live. It's a pretty regular way to start a sentence. No need to be rude...know what I mean?
