Not acknowledging something is a passive, not active, response.
I am not talking about "responses", I am talking about the act of ignoring something.
Where else, but in a response, does one ignore something in a newsgroup posting?
Non sequitur.
Oh, no, I know you "understand" English. And, in general, you use it correctly. Ninety-some percent of what you write could be taken for a native speaker's writing.SandmanThere is no such thing as a "passive action". It's an oxymoron. They are both nouns that contradict each other.Tony Cooper
The problem you have is that you just don't have a feel for English.
The problem you have is that you think there is some magical "feel" required to understand English. Learn to use the language correctly instead.
Some words, though, are like a Swiss Army knife. You tend to treat those words like there is only one blade that can be properly used when, in fact, there are other blades that allow other uses.
Other words have definitions that *seem* to fit what you want to say, but are not used idiomatically that way by those of us who do have that "magical" feel for the language.
Instead of noting corrections and adjusting your use, you dig in and try - unsuccessfully - to prove that you are right.
Ironic - your mind ceases to function without ever looking in a dictionary in the first place.Yes, and I can ride a bicycle without looking at the directions on how to do so. The necessary information has been filed away years ago.
Then how would you know he ignored it?
It's just a claim from you, based on apparently nothing.Uhhh, yes. If there was something, rather than nothing, there would be no claim that it was ignored.
