The use and understanding of the English language is not always black and white, nor is it always logical. The meaning of one word in a sentence cannot always be dissected, in the way it appears A_W is attempting to do, to justify his opinion of Velcro_SP's statements.
As a Native English speaker, I understand Velcro_SP's statements and objections to A_W's opinion about his statements and their meanings, without any difficulty. I also understand how reading Velcro_SP's statements could be taken the wrong way by not only a non-native English speaker, but even many native English speakers.
Much can be mistaken between spoken and written English. I can't write about the same being true for any other languages, as I only speak a very limited vocabulary in a second language and do not understand the structure and grammar of that second language to comment on the possibility, or lack thereof, that mistakes are common between spoken words meaning and the same words when written.
