And while > 4000% is hyperbolic, a whole lot of normies just refuse to entertain the notion that you’re being serious, not hysterical, that this kind of thing is actually fairly well studied.
Its like guys just telling gals ‘its just a period, how bad can it be?’ or gals telling guys ‘its just a flu, how bad can it be?’
Yeah, hard to quantify precisely, along some universal scale… but that is because there is no universal scale; different kinds of people experience different levels of measurable agony from different things.
I disagree (it necessarily being hyperbolic), by now it’s been proven we can have “real” physical pain (and thereby also damage). Maybe the number sounds exaggerated but we don’t know.
Thanks, I found out that was the case whan I played mmorpg and assumed some bad English speakers were not native speaking, but they were. Interesting thing in fact.
Still, some things are lost with specific wording or also culturally - worst of all are the things that seem identical but are different (not the average false friends stuff).
Yep.

By hyperbolic I mean that 4000% is likely not the actually correct specific number, but that it is a much higher number, just maybe not 4000%.
Maybe its more like 12 or 13 or 18, compared to 10.
Basically I am trying to agree with you and say that yes, it is substantially worse, but maybe not literally 4000% worse.
If 100 is 100%, 4000% would be 4000.
Apologies, I’m not natively English so that might pose language and cultural understanding issues (additionally) 😁
Ah, all good!
You speak English better than most Americans, if that’s any consolation, hahah!

Something like 15% to 20% of adult Americans are functionally illiterate, 2nd grade or lower reading ability.
The average adult American reads at the level of a 5th/6th grader, an 11 year old.
Yeah. We actually are just really dumb, on average.
We have literacy levels that are comparable to places far, far less economically developed or wealthy overall, or per capita than us.
But anyways yes, there will always be a bit thats still lost in… I guess you could say ‘cultural translation’.
Particularly idioms, hahah!
