    And here I was, pondering about why the forest is ghosting me whenever I yelled into it (in several distinct kinds). I’m such a fool, aren’t I?

    Good thing you came along and explained that German idiom to me which I’ve heard and used for decades now. In my mother tongue. Which is German.

    Can you explain some other idiom to me now? Who are the Hempels, and why do they never clean up under their Sofa (that’s a German term for “Couch”).

      Correct, you are a fool, I don’t believe this is the only reason why but kudos for being willing to admit it.

      Doing something for years doesn’t mean you’re doing it right. I speak English I don’t know every English idiom perfectly and no one expects you to know every German one.

      Sure, shoot I’ve got time and you’ve no defense aside from lashing out it seems.
