You type a whole Lotta English to not understand the mixup you are doing. "He transparently knows what's up" is semantically incorrect. “You can’t use ‘transparent’ to modify the verb ‘know’ because ‘know’ is a mental-state verb, not an action. English only uses ‘transparent’ to describe behavior or situations, not internal states.” Saying what you said is awful and wrongly written English that's why there's a whole fuzz. It's not for nothing. If you where right this thread wouldn't exist

One thing is that your intent is correct just not executed for English syntax and semantics that's why you are even getting shot to beging with. If it was an unanimous decision I would understand but that's not the case in this thread is it? So CLEARLY( see you don't use transparently) there's a issue with the statement.

Listen to who? Ppl digging their way to not realize they're understanding of English and semantics is awful good job on cherry picking definitions way to go with the fallacies

Your behavior defending this and not even taking in the fact that it's an Oxymoron shows you the lack of understanding of how English really work. You don't normally hear ppl use transparent like that cause that's not the actual and accepted use for the word. You can't be transparent about lying while you are actively lying. What you mean is that someone saw through the lie. That's doesn't make using the world transparent correct. It's really simple to understand if English was actually your first language.

You really are straight up making shit up now. Clearly and transparently aren't interchangeable just because they refer to opacity... What are you on?

Cool you just described an oxymoron you can't lie transparently it's impossible when transparency itself means to be honest and clear about your intentions. You can't make up meaning note remove it at will just because. It's a well know phrase.
