All-day includes the night? I also didn’t know that

Then two others couldn’t come because their concert ran much longer than they thought it would, and the last said they had a sudden conflict come up but they could still come, and asked if it was okay if they brought somebody we didn’t know.
I said sure. Turns out it was their Tinder date, who they’d met… on the way to our house. They ate our food (their date didn’t have any) and left to go back to their Tinder date.
I was pissed.

Well. Ive probably almost never heard of it. Since i dont speak english irl obviously. But if you asked me what it means id say … Until the sun sets. Which sounds embarassing, maybe. But this would be my first reaction. To what “all-day” means

theres two different times of “days” in english
“day” as in when its light out, or “day” as in a 24h period

yeah same. Like I dont know exactly what I have (autism, adhd, just generally being weird) but I get all of it from my dad. I am mentally ill in the same way he is, except he also has some traits I don’t have (a strange fixation on cleaning & reorganizing & doing things in a specific way) but whatever it is that makes me kinda roll natural 1s in certain social situations comes from my dad

Wait really? Thats so confusing
In bulgarian we have two separate words. Day = Ден. Day+night = Денонощие. Which translates to “daynight”. Actually, isnt “daynight” an english word? Or am i tripping

Wow ur right i googled it to make sure. I mandela effect’d myself to think “Daynight” is an existing english word. Maybe because its similar to “Daylight”, from daylight savings

I don’t think she’s necessarily wrong about the specific things she’s saying, I just think the way she frames it seems… strange. I think it’s a perspective very much informed by comparing it to writing-writing that loses bits of the general… purposes of internet communication, and thus loses perspective on what’s actually going on. I mean, I’m seeing an out of context quote, which I think is a big part of it, I can’t tell what point this was trying to make, which ultimately causes me to fill in the rest with assumptions

Watch out: if you write on the internet, people will screenshot what you say to make a point, and then it’ll get taken out of context and other people will read it within that different context, causing you to be misunderstood
(…this also happens with any kind of speaking or text people quote to another person)

Yes, this is what I’m doing to him.
The context makes it worse, so I’m okay with that.

I mean she was a prolific author. She’s seeing people run into issues with their writing on the Internet that she likely had some experience with in the over 5 decades long career she had. Again, I don’t think she’s necessarily prescribing that people take the time to carefully plot out what they write on the Internet, but rather pointing out that the way people tend to write on the Internet naturally leads to the negative shit we see.
