@brainwane bigger deal --to me-- is when a given lesson seems to build up a fiction, then ruins it.
"my son isn't coming to the party, he's visiting his girlfriend"
"my son is bringing the bread for the party"
wait, I thought he wasn't coming? Do I need to buy bread or not?

@bengerman totally.

"My son, in this particular dimension of the multiverse, is bringing the bread for the party"

@bengerman @brainwane

Comme on dit "My son is a total flake and may or may not show up with bread"?

@CliftonR @bengerman I laughed aloud at this

@brainwane I don't think either of my aunts has owned a fountain-pen since the 1960s, and both my uncles are dead, so any references to their gardens are entirely hypothetical.

@KatS Right?! Yeah!

@KatS also, I enjoy your Fediverse profile and appreciate it!

@brainwane The comprehensible input people apparently agree with you, since they think you basically don’t talk at all until you basically know the language 😛

@pganssle I looked at the Dreaming Spanish page and I see zero attention paid to the truth value aspect of saying sample sentences. But I appreciate the pointer anyway
