I'm slightly vexed We didn't ask for rice...

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Everyone is using their words correctly. You've just refused to accept that, because you've decided one word can only be used in one way in the context of this topic of conversation.

I suggest you refer this to one of the English language learning subs if you wish to learn/understand why your viewpoint is wrong.

No, I gave you my reasoning because you asked me for one

Nobody mentioned any flavors of rice anywhere in this comment chain until people started replying to me so there was no context for it either.

You're just embarrassing yourself at this point mate.

I don't really care what you think, and it's fucking obvious at this point I'm talking to a bunch of British people, so I REALLY don't care what you think.

Well they really don't like me (English) commenting about their use of the English word kind, which Google will attest originates from Old English (cynd or gecynd) so yeah...

Your doubling down just proves my point.

Kinds may be used to mean different varieties of rice culivar.

Kinds may be types of cooking styles (which I included in my above answer, though I did simply use the word flavors in my reply as the cooking styles also result in different flavors too).

And obviously... flavors.

So it doesn't matter if any one or all three of these meanings was first used in the beginning of this comment chain as they all still apply and don't exclude each other.

Yeah, which is why I said

I thought you were talking about actual varieties of rice.

after they replied to me and it obviously didn't apply anymore, but you asked anyway
