My answer was an observation that language is very personal and inaccurate. I explained that the simplest wording is my preferred way of speaking - my way of using language is a window to my mind. But you incorrectly interpreted my descriptive comment as a prescriptive statement.

Québecois is my first language, I learned English in my late teens, and some German in my late twenties. As @adelinej points out, French in Canada and in France are different. The same can be said for the English spoken by people from Japan, Greece, India, and Australia. I'd like to learn more about Algonquin, Māori, etc. but I don't have friends who speak these languages.

Differences between languages go beyond grammar, they highlight a different personal thought process.

This is very interesting in itself but can lead to misunderstandings - or funny situations🤣 And this is how a conversation should be taken,[descriptive comment] with a sense of humour and interest in the other person. For example, I find it interesting that a friend of mine never spells her first name with a capital "j", and you also write "i"...

But I offended you @adub - twice. It seems our personalities may be incompatible. I am not on universodon.com to find new friends, but instead to share ideas. If I can't do so without offending you, we should end this exchange.[prescriptive statement]

I think we agree on one thing: "If you get asked for financial information, it's a scam." Let's leave it at that.[prescriptive statement]

Merci @adelinej 😉
