I'm not trying to be rude but did you understand what I said? Lane splitting at a stop light/stop sign/stopped traffic is safer for the cyclist. Lane splitting and continuing to drive between the lanes of stopped traffic is not.
He's not wrong. Look at the amendment that banned alcohol. It was repealed through another amendment.
The Constitution is meant to be updated and changed with modern times. What he's meaning to say is that despite Republicans (who don't even understand the fucking document) believing the Constitution is set in stone, it's actually meant to be changed regularly.
Unfortunately no reenactments though I'd love to. So far it's mainly just been solo practice on foot work and technique with minimal sparring as finding someone to spar with is difficult.
It's not that they're being too formal it seems that they're thinking too formal.
Like they can't decipher things like a multi use word or an obvious autocorrect mistake.
If we were talking about birds and I suddenly started using the word bards you should be able to figure out contextually that I'm still talking about birds.
Edit: also formal isn't the right word. I specifically used fluent because fluently speaking a language means being able to deduce the meaning of a word through context.
As a lot of people have already pointed out it's mostly prevalent in arguments. Like a comment I made on a video about lane splitting on motorcycles.
The video was explaining why lane splitting is safer for cyclists and shows a cyclist get rear ended at a stop light. The title of the video was "Most people don't understand lane splitting"
I simply commented "No we understand this specific scenario but to continue driving between stopped traffic is completely different"
All the replies to my comment were about lane splitting at a stop sign/stop light. The very thing I specifically stated I understood.
Both? Though I've noticed it more when it comes to my personal word choice.
Honestly it might even just be because I'm autistic but it's a recent thing (as in past few years) that suddenly a much larger number of people don't understand the information I'm trying to convey.
Idk if you know this but most thoughts aren't original. It just takes the right person with the idea to make it happen.
