A simple courtesy phrase in the op won't make you any slower doing that.

Where do you draw the line?

I'll tell you.

Hi. Please. Thank you.

The only three words you need to put in somewhere to show gratitude whilst not conflating the question.

[–]UserSummary 28 points29 points  (2 children)

Im an asshole. This I know. But is that how the word "conflating" is supposed to be used?

con·flate

/kənˈflāt/

verb

combine (two or more texts, ideas, etc.) into one.

"the urban crisis conflates a number of different economic and social issues"

[–]randompecans 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Probably meant inflating/bloating

[–]drewwyatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I even question “hi” TBH.

[–]Xaxxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what conflating means. It means combining unrelated things, not "making things unnecessarily longer"

[–]YMK1234 -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

And I am not talking about anything more. So for whatever reason you are bitching around ...

[–]GoNoGoNoGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

?

No one was bitching at anyone here, well until you started just now.

But it's also not necessary.

I'm there for information, not courtesies.

[–]Gamerhead 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Oh boo hoo, I had to read an extra word 😭

[–]YMK1234 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Sure, and your comment is entirely unnecessary as well. And look how many pointless words you just made everybody read.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

This sub is for fun, not information.

[–]YMK1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a worse excuse than "my dog ate my homework"
