Damn you stretched, you really can undo smudging ink? No more time for this https://www.etymonline.com/word/delete
You seem really hell bent on not understanding how any of this works. Multiple people have given great explanations on why it works that way and even the history of the word "delete", and you just say "nah, that isn't what I think it should be."
Bro, the entire issue here is that your perceptions and assumptions are wrong. If everyone else gets it and you don't, maybe the problem isn't everyone else. Being a dick about it certainly isn't going to help.
"A lot of people disagree with you" is a bad argument.
I'm just drive by commenting and have no stake in this, but I saw that and wanted to make the statement.
I'm not saying jaykrown is right and you are wrong, or vice versa, but it's a bad argument.
The most famous example would be when the nazis collected the writings of a hundred scientists to disprove Einstein because he was a jew, and Einstein replied "If I was wrong, all it would take is a single one".
(and then everybody clapped)
Please note I am not taking a side, so don't worry about telling me why jaykrown is wrong, because it doesn't matter- "people disagree" is not a good argument.
Dude asked a question, received a bunch of congruent answers, and chose to argue with them rather than consider that he's wrong. That's not even remotely equivalent to the nazis trying to disprove Einstein, and it's really bizarre that you brought that up.
He asked for the wisdom of the collective, received it, then decided that he didn't like it because it didn't reinforce his perception. "Everyone you asked disagrees" is a 100% valid argument.
I can instantly tell that you're being disingenuous, you're trying to protect your ego, I don't interact with people like that. You're a sophist. Bye.
Lol ok. Fuck off

I would never do that to someone.
Friends?
I would absolutely do that to someone, but sure
