I’m getting better at understanding them

But damn sometimes I spend more time searching for definitions to understand it than it actually takes to read it

    I did an indoor skydiving thing once and there’s a lesson beforehand. My partner and I did the required skills well and our young instructor said “Let’s go” and so we got up to leave the room. Incorrect, he was just expressing approval.

      I’m trying to decide if that’s on you or the instructor. My first thought was to blame the instructor for being confusing. But now that I’ve thought about it some more, if you had just said something remarkable and they responded “no way, get out of here!” then you probably wouldn’t have thought they were literally telling you to leave.

      So yeah… you might just be getting old.

        No doubt I’m getting old. Not blaming either party, but clarity is important sometimes. This was not one of those times.

          He was instructing you on skydiving, when exactly do you consider clarity important?!

          “Get out”

          Jumps out of plane

          “Not like that!”
