Confusing words
Generally I find two types of posts difficult to understand. The ones written in that confusing English that people here have mentioned, e.g.
"I am disturbed not by evolutions loaded impositions on evidential matters, subordinate and superordinate, by rather the assumptions it makes on fundamental beginnings, before the beginning was begun".
However much more difficult to deal with are the ones that combine this English with a rejection of obvious facts, e.g.
"In the interest of ontological honesty, let us be quite clear, you cannot "drink" water."
I first saw this in a statement I saw on here a long time ago, I forget who said it, where the poster said:
"You cannot "stand" on the surface of the Earth". I have absolutely no idea what people who say this stuff mean. In some posts here most of the time spent on composition is actually on understanding what was said to me.
