Projecting so hard.

What shame is there for me? I've admitted from the very first time you posted that quote which didn't have "at" before "dawn" that my intention was always to write "closer to" in the sentence.

So then it becomes comparing "closer to dawn" to "at dawn" and those two are different, because never was there ever an intention to say "at dawn". How do I know this? Because even in the comment I immediately reply to you, I say, "I said closer to dawn, not 'at dawn'", not realising I had indeed skipped wiring "closer" to.

I have no problems admitting to my mistakes, but you're still avoiding the fact that you claimed there is an "at" in the original one, then thinking you wrote one when you copied it, when you in fact again just skipped a word and assumed it was there, which is basically the exact same brain fart my brain did when writing it.

Who cares about some small typo? You apparently. And you call me a contrarian, despite you disagreeing with literally everything I write, even when I write I'm agreeing with you, like I wrote from the very start.

as it was written

Yeah. As it was written. But you didn't read it as it was written, you read it as "at dawn", which shows from your incessant whining that you didn't skip a word and you're a flawless infallible princess.

the context wasn't shift workers. It was times of day

So you don't think shift workers have the ability to discuss time of day? You don't think a word can be used in two different contexts? Is this honestly the first time you've even pretended to understand linguistics?

the traditonal daily time,

"MY norm is THE norm"

Kek go have some real world experience, pls.

Then later you changed the definition.

No, I used the same word to refer to a different thing. Half-jokingly, I might add, but you don't seem to have a sense of humour, so wasted words.

And just because a thing is a joke doesn't make it unacceptable use of language. Or are you trying to say I'm "not allowed to joke"? Bshh, I thought you couldn't get more prescriptive but you're just doubling down.

Further, I was emphasizing for others reading this about dawn/morning and vitamin D

No you weren't. You INSTANTLY countered my "you probably shouldn't take it at night" with "NUH-UH, YOU SHOULD TAKE IT AT MIDDAY OR LATER IN THE DAY."

Because you're a pathological contrarian who couldn't help themselves before even checking the facts. Then when I slapped sourced studies to the table, you got ashamed of having been a lil bit pretentious, and started moving your goalposts and avoiding that you've made any mistakes, ever.

While I kept agreeing with a lot of what you said, (since I'm not a pathological contrarian,) you just keep avoiding admitting to having skipped a word whole reading. Ie you're avoiding admitting to the exact thing I admitted to from the moment I noticed it.

See just how much better a person I am? ;>

I could say "the sky is blue" or "gravity works everywhere" or "the speed of light in a vacuum is fixed" and you'd still probably argue those points. Have you thought about CBT? I've a lovely therapist who I've been with for more than a year.

If you don't hate admitting to mistakes, then you admit you misread my comment and then proceeded to misread it a couple times after, when you demanded "I haven't skipped any words"

When you clearly have.

See. Me saying I said "closer to", because I genuinely believed that, as it was my intention when writing it, which is why there is no "AT" there, is there? Despite you loudly proclaiming there is. Where is it?

Enjoy your day. ;>
