    Default Re: Theft of Store Property Charge Against Wishes of Store Owner

    Quote Quoting Mark47n
    View Post
    One is a quote and the other is paraphrasing and the difference is not minor. Paraphrasing can be used to misrepresent the meaning of what was said while a quote is exact. In this case you are saying that it's probable that it will be thrown away while TM is saying that its a best case scenario but doesn't say whether or not it's probable. So, you are NOT saying the same thing that TM is. That it sounds like the same thing to you is perhaps why you struggle with nuance.
    It is a good lawyer's job to imply something without actually saying it. Would you agree? Like what you just did when you said "the difference is not minor." Instead of telling me what something is not, why didn't you say what it is? Like, is it moderate or major? Who knows what you said because you didn't say anything, which leads the reader to assume what you meant, and, it leaves the door wide open for you to deny what was implied by saying "not minor."

    To say what something is not, like "not minor" is actually taking no stance on what it is while implying it is major. I guess you would have to experience a lawyer playing with the English language to rip you off for a large sum of money before you became aware of the art a lot of lawyers are highly skilled at. An yes, TM has some of those skills.
