Any language can be tricky..... even when you think you know the meaning, sometimes it may not mean as you think you know....let me share an experience... I was in the chat room once.. the Athetist and Pagan chat room. Imagine having these two group of people together in the same chat room. What does these two have in common, I wondered to myself, and I was curious so I decided to join in. To my surprise they are soooo nice to each other... very polite. They exchange views... joke and tease each other.... and they make me feel welcome.. then when its time for me to go I say " Okay people.... its really nice to be here... thank you " Some responded " byeeee Nora " while many others said " later Nora " " oh! okay " I replied and styaed for a while. Then one of them ask " You said you have to go.. " " yes I am.... but you all told me later...... so can I go now or later? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
