Why can't you read? Your question is still quoted above:"Why did you write this?"That's you asking a question about my motives.Tony Cooper
I asked why you wrote this particular statement.
Your "motives" are a broader category of reason and involve a plan or a recurring impetus to do something.So "motive" is yet another word illiterate Tony doesn't understand.
I note that you have still not explained what you meant.Of course not. Had you asked from the beginning, I could have told you. But you didn't ask, you said:
"I don't think that a business feels that optimizing profitability is a "shame"."
And when I replied by explicitly telling you that I never said it was, you replied with:
"When you deny something, do try for some plausibility."
Clearly saying that me saying "Which is a shame" meant that I think that a business thinks it's a shame to optimize profitability.
So there was never a question from you. You just said I denied your whacky interpretation and that was the end of it. If you instead had gone "Oh, so what did you mean by shame then", then you would have been an adult and would have been treated as such and had gotten a response.
You say it's a shame, but not why it's a shame.Yes, you told me why instead - and failed to back it up for ONE MILLION DOLLARS. What a shocker.
We generally use the phrase to indicate that something is being done that is wrong, or wrongs someone, but you have not explained what is wrong with a store not discounting products."We"? Haha. Who are "we", Tony? Are there more as illiterate as you?
Surely you had some reason to add this.Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't have.
You must have some basis for thinking that it is wrong or wrongful to not offer a discount.I would if that was what I thought. Fortunately, my understanding of the English language isn't as one-sided as yours. And by "one-sided" I don't mean that you merely comprehend one part of the language, no I mean that you desperately want the English language to bend to what you currently is shoe-horning a word into.
Can you not explain that?I can not, nor will I ever attempt, to explain any of the made up scenarios that exists only inside your skull.
When or if an adult asks for one, I am more than willing to provide one.SandmanTony Cooper
Yes, run away, Tony. It's all you're good at.
Are you running away from an explanation?
Just substantiate why it's a shame that the store doesn't discount accessory products and put an end to it.See, you didn't even understand just what part "is a shame" was in reference to - now you're talking about "accessory products" when that's not what I was talking about initially. See what I mean about you not being able to understand English? Why, of course you don't.
You're just wandering around in your own head right now.
