but if someone says do u have a dollar, u wouldn't say no because you have 7 dollars, you would say yes

That's a different context.

Also, if someone says, "Do you have a dollar?" They're asking for one dollar.

Mostly I would say I don't carry cash. Bums always begging outside my grocery store.

Saying do you have a sibling means at least one sibling so yes you have a sibling you just have a second one too.

(So yeah): No, that is inaccurate. In the context, saying "you have a sibling" implies one. It's the tense in which it is said.

Your calling him a jerk, while you made a post thats basically saying, "Hey! Over here! I'm DESPERATE for some yeah you are's!!!!" People who can read: You can read what I wrote.

yea but im just making a joke and he's being a jerk making an argument 2 an issue like that...

I disagree. I have five siblings, but that is irrelevant. "People with siblingS:" Siblings, as in plural. Doesn't that eliminate the people who actually comply with your latter description? It does.

I don't think it does. To limit it to just one sibling, he'd need to say "You have just one sibling". You said you have five siblings correct? The statement "Scrantoncity has four siblings" isn't incorrect, it's just not the whole truth. Overall, OP has stylistic issues, and this post could've clearly been written better, would you agree?

I would agree with your last sentence. Generally having a number of siblings is exact. I realize that yes, I do have four siblings. This is true. I have on addition. But, today, it's implied that I ONLY have four. Which is untrue. Connotations are as important as denotations, as long as they are grammatically correct, do you agree?

Yep, which is where style comes in. It comes down to the minutiae and subtleties, and how well a thought was communicated. And i daresay, that this thought, this post has some communication issues.

This post is stupid. How the fuck are people ever going to get a clue to stop making completely obvious posts if you idiots keep voting them to the home page? What is wrong with you?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Obvious post is obvious.
