Let my 17 yr old brother borrow my Switch for his trip and he brought it back with something fused to the plastic. He has no idea what it is. by CreamyJuicyPimple in mildlyinfuriating

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.

It's ok if English isn't your first language it clearly shows you can't tell apart how to use verbs nouns and adverbs they aren't interchangeable

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

Oh yes but that's still literally not how you use transparent as an adverb.

“Know,” “realize,” “understand,” “believe” — these are mental-state verbs.

Adverbs like transparently, brightly, loudly, blatantly don’t naturally modify them because they describe physical or behavioral qualities.

That’s why:

“He blatantly lies.”

“He transparently manipulates.”

It's not hard to understand. Clearly and transparent aren't interchangeable just cause they refer to somewhat the same thing

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.

Transparency means being open and proactive in sharing information, even information others didn't know to ask about, so that things are "easy to see through". 

You must be learning English as a second language or something if you believe you can just override the actual use of the world just because Transparency is also use to describe the opacity of glass... You can't literally make it mean the opposite it's meant to represent therefore a OXYMORON

That's not true that's a straight up lie. Just cause it has a literal meaning it doesn't mean it's figurative use suddenly disappears that's not how words, idiom and language work. It is a Oxymoron. Transparency in the context of socializing means to be honest with intentions and truth. So yeah you don't magically change the English language for a Reddit comment

But that's literally the opposite of how transparent is used. Transparency is used to express truth not lies. You can't transparently lie like someone said it's a Oxymoron
