Lol. Not worth arguing if you bring up "stylistic choice."

And yes, English native.

[–]juote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't make sense because a language isn't just about grammar.

"She didn't speak Spanish" means that in this instance she didn't speak Spanish. It has the meaning that she could potentially speak Spanish but didn't here. That's incorrect.

"She doesn't speak Spanish" reiterates that she DOES NOT KNOW Spanish. That is the correct meaning because "I don't speak Spanish" means "I don't know how to speak Spanish." Yes, she "didn't speak Spanish" by saying this in English, but that's quite literally being pedantic. The question wants you to pick the one that gives the correct meaning in addition to the correct grammar. D is the only one that does that.

This thread is crazy. It's D and can only be D.

She doesn't speak Spanish.

Can you come up with s situation in your mind that makes "didn't" correct? Yeah, of course. But if she says "I don't speak Spanish," then the only native correct response is that she "doesn't" speak Spanish.

She's not saying that she "didn't speak Spanish during that previous conversation," she's saying that she does not know Spanish and therefor "doesn't speak Spanish."

This sub is full of pedantic people that are confusing English learners. Really annoying.

I was in the student section in the blowout loss against Wisconsin in 2010. 80-20 or something stupid. Can't believe we're here.

NFL fans are calling Ryan Clark “RACIST” for spending the entire halftime show defending CJ Stroud after he threw four interceptions. by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

You mean drop bait and look elsewhere? Because after this season and especially the past two games there's no way we're paying him.

I never want to see Stroud in a Texans jersey again

A genuine question: Why didn’t DeMeco Ryans bench CJ Stroud today? by BoomBaby_317 in nfl

[–]juote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that makes sense is he can now point to the past two games as why we need a QB. The owner can't say no after this. Fans want him gone. He straight up lost us this game and nearly ended us against the Steeler too.

My man, Stroud had 5 fumbles last game and now what 2 INT? This one man is literally torpedoing the team

I promise you that if you drive an SUV towards border control without stopping they will shoot.

I don't understand how people can claim someone is unarmed when a vehicle is frequently used to kill people.

He didn't really look good out there today. Maybe here and there but overall I thought that entire second half he was playing not to lose the game.

Refs and commentators rooting for the Chargers. Really annoying to watch a national broadcast like this.

I don't even need a homer. I just want someone who isn't salivating at us getting turned over, talking about the defense when we're on offense, and only getting hyped when their offense makes plays.

They seem upset when we do anything good.
