Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

Pfff, so nobody is allowed anymore to give a reason for why they phrased something a certain way because reasons?

DA

They are, but certain phrasing you used sounds a bit like when people say “I don’t mean to be __, but...”, which is followed by them being exactly what the blank was.

Your “I know I was harsh, but...” can be just read as the lead-up to your explanation, which is how I read it, to be clear. But it could also sound like the other thing I mentioned, and thus come off not so great. That’s what ayrt meant, I’m pretty sure.

I think they might have been joking a little bit though, but I could be wrong.

The other anon

I was serious about my response. I want people to think more carefully about how they use the 'but' conjunction and think a linguistic video will drive the point home better that a text monologue.

Gotcha, my bad for assuming.

Most of the assumptions you made were correct. The only part that was not was the joking part. I tend to not joke online, especially when I'm anonymous.

AYRT

Given how phrasing is a key method of developing tone in text, I'd say that being up front about why a statement is phrased a certain is more important than ever. Such a practice could also reduce the number of bad faith arguing accusations.

I admit I had to contemplate your response for a bit. The "nobody is allowed" portion threw me off.

Sorry, I was assuming that this was another argument in the vein of "hurr you say 'you're not racist but' so that means you're racist" as a way to dismiss someone.
