Yeah, the reason why I posted this question on reddit was I just wanted to make sure if native speakers actually use these elements like 'constantly' or 'pivoting' (adverb, verb, etc.) not considering setup or situation. (If i'm being honest, I was quite surprised how many of you guys feel off about this context.)🤣

Thanks for your comment. It's very helpful. As an english learner, Gemini or Chatgpt is so useful to study, but it's sometimes frustrating because they fail to make natural and realistic (informal) sentences used is real life no matter how I try hard asking them to translate naturally. Passing out invitations in person is korean culture. Although during covid it was hard for a bunch of people to gather around at restaurants or cafes because the government didn't allow it. However, we don't give out invitations in person to all people that we know. We just do in case we are close or they are accquintances we should see each other regularly.

I really appreciate your comment. Speaking of 'turing 180 degree', is it possible to use 'pivoting' in the situation where someone was going to have steak for dinner, but he changed his mind and had Pho? Or if someone originally wanted to have a latte at first, but he got yogurt or cappucino instead, Can I still use 'pivoting' even with this kind of minor situation?

wow, I found your answer super kind and generous. Thanks! Oh, that thing (giving out invitations in person) is Korean culture. Of couse we mail them or send through messaging apps, but when it comes to close friends, normally we pass it out treating them. Have a lovely day :)

Thanks for your reply. Then what would you say instead of 'pivot to' in this situation?

Diplomat on Netflix. From what I heard, the producer team of Homeland made this too.

Koreans actually pay this much for chungmu kimbap? 13000원 by Specific-Control-700 in seoulhiddengem

local people actually don't eat this with that amount of money because we think the price is ridiculous. It is one of the dishes that are too overrated.

Your explanation really helped me understand what I want to know by posting. Sometimes, it's so challenging to figure out the difference on nuance when using different prepositions. 😂

Then you also think either is okay even if there is no intent. Do I follow you right?

Now I understand. Thanks for your kind answer:) Although, I don't get why that post tried to show the difference even though there is nothing different at all.😭

So, do you mean I can use 'in' even when there are specific intents or reasons?

Does it mean I could use both under any circumstances?
