Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might

But even if there is a rule, it doesn’t matter; if the terms are used this way and fully understood by both the speaker and listeners, then the rule is void.

For sure, I am just curious. Not to lecture others, for my own knowledge. :)
I see where you are coming from, but as someone who speaks several other languages, I would say there can be benefits to lanagauge rules.

That makes sense! I am a rule enjoyer, I guess I was responding more to the thread than to you in particular. It is good to be aware of the rules, but I also think they can sometimes hinder natural communication and create confusion.
