    Got it, you don’t know what “if” means. And no, it is not, many members of my family, including my daughter, are autistic. They do not use their autism as an excuse to get away with pretending people said the opposite of what they said.

    In fact, every autistic member of my family knows how to say, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood what you said.” They do not use their autism as an excuse. You know who does? Elon Musk. If he even is actually autistic.

      Look if I’ve done something to upset you, then I do apologize. That’s almost never my goal in life.

      That said, I know exactly what “if” means.

      You made an assumption and appended an insult to the opposite side of that assumption. You were wrong in your assumption, thereby lobbing that insult at me. I won’t apologize for being insulted.

      As for the sandwich nonsense. Two things:

      EDIT lol i hit tab and enter on accident and it posted.

      1. That situation and many others have happened to me. I usually clear up the misunderstanding, so I can figure out wth is going on, and then apologize, though I probably shouldn’t have to seeing as asking clarifying questions is not something that really needs to be apologized for.

      2. You still haven’t addressed the husband and wives thing. Was that a good point so you’re ignoring it and changing the subject to my understanding of sandwich ingredients?

      Regardless, as I said in my last comment. I don’t really want to continue this conversation. I feel as if you’re acting in bad faith and would appreciate being left alone so I don’t have to block you.

        No. It’s not a good point. If someone said “husband and wives,” the vast, vast majority of people on this planet understand that to be polygamy.

        And other than you, I have yet to meet anyone who thinks that and means or.
