I don't know what everyone means when they use 'rule' in the title and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. Please enlighten me.

"I'm afraid to ask" is such a werid thing to say on the internet. Nobody knows you. Just ask.

But he did ask, which is why it's even stupider.

someone can be afraid to do something and still do it

[–] Woht24 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes they can, but the use of 'too afraid to ask' implies they won't or can't do it.

Yeah, language is rarely that literal, deal with it.

[–] Woht24 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm dealing with it fine, I just said it's stupid. You don't seem to be dealing too well though so perhaps you should look inward at your ability to 'deal with it'.
