Do you two share a brain, as well as a fucked up understanding of the English language?
First, Wilde, you realize that "common" has more than one definition...and that the definition you're using ISN'T the one in play here...right?
LL, please...I said "there is your idea of what common courtesy is, and everyone else's idea...rarely are they exactly the same..." Their ideas are rarely the same about a concept that doesn't exist...and, of course, that's why their ideas are rarely the same. Somewhat akin to how people's ideas about what aliens (not the border crossing ones, the space visiting ones) look like rarely match up...
Try harder fellas... |
Right. I don't know anything about her. Or you, other than that you say you aren't her WK as you WK her.
No, we do not share a brain. And while English is not my first language, I have an exceptional understanding of it; I can't speak for LL's though.
Of course
common has multiple definitions, as does
courtesy. But the most, er, common definition:

when applied to the word
courtesy, would mean that it is a courtesy shared mutually. Why wouldn't that be the one in play here?
