    1. yes. Now it’s dark blue. The sky isn’t transparent. It isn’t clear. It’s translucent which scatters light and blurs it.

    2. that wasn’t the question. Is Chicago in America? Yes. Are there Chicago’s not in America ? Also yes.

    3. so the answer would be “false” they are not trees. They arent technically grass either just closer to grass. The answer remains the same. Palm trees aren’t trees.

    4. do you really doubt I can give hundreds more direct examples.

    You have exactly 2 options. You have a decision to make. You can keep chatting with me or stop chatting with me. Choose. Option a or option b.

        Dude… I buy the new versions of both Websters and Oxford dictionary every time the release a new version lol. I do both in case I’m arguing with someone from London about the word “evening”.

        I’m profoundly boring. However like you said I’m very good at talking so it doesn’t sound so bad.

        My point is I don’t need to look at Wikipedia or look anything up. I know what it means in America and in the UK. I know the slight deference between the us and uk definitions.

        I’m not a bad ass, but if you want to argue semantics… boy you’re going to lose fast. You can’t be. I might be wrong about my opinions but I know the limits of the word.

        At best you can say I offered myself a false situation, but again it was illustrative not literal.
