Touché. I guess I'm describing my wishes more than reality.


sort by: page size:

I suppose I was taking more of an idealistic view.

Sorry, that was want I meant to imply.

Yeah, sorry; this description of my intent is accurate.

It may imply what you may have wanted to imply.

Yes. That is what I intended and did not articulate as well as you just did.

FWIW: your interpretation of my intentions is how i hoped they would come across :).

Am I really saying that? That's surely not what I meant, but it's interesting to know my words could be understood in such a dramatically different way to my intentions.

Touche' I probably need to think through that line a little better.

You stated much more elegantly than I did what I was attempting to convey.

I did not mean to imply that! I’d love it in fact.

You do realize I wasn't describing a hypothetical situation, right?

Touche.

I chose my words badly. Hopefully the meaning still got across.


not what i meant, but i like the sentiment.

That's actually what I was aiming to say, but the way I phrased it could unfortunately bear both interpretations.

Isn't that what I wrote? I may not have expressed it clearly.

No. I'm emphasizing the ludicrous proposition.

Quite so, though that's not the case I had in mind.

Touche. Perhaps I was a little careless in my statement.

Yeah I could phrase things better.
