I posted what I thought would happen over the election. It was pointed out by another that what I thought was merely speculation. To which I replied that of course it is speculation as I don't have a crystal ball to see into the future. That nuance thing you thing you think you can suss out turns out to be another thing you just don't get.
Any and all predictions made are/were speculation.
My 2nd post was meant to be self-referential, I wasn't clear on that. My bad.
When I wrote "This is speculation, so take it with a lorry full of salt." I should've written something along the lines of: "My following post is speculation, so take it with a lorry full of salt." instead of "This".
I didn't mean "This" as a reply, but a self-reference to my own post. Not surprising that this ambiguity from my post could be misconstrued as a reply.
I'll try to be more concise and precise in the future replies, but sometimes English is kinda hard to juggle, since in Faroese, and Danish too, self-reference is different and easy to recognize, so I mistakenly thought that was obvious. It was in my mind.
Be comforted in the knowledge that your English is better than my Faroese. And all I know about Danish is that I prefer the fruit filled ones to the cheese variety.
