Ladies and gentlemen, today I present to you a prime example of 'taking things out of context'.
My original statement was pertaining to Scott Garden was:
"And damn noisy at night due to the pubs. My frens staying in Casa Desa 1km away also can hear the music, especially on weekend nights."You can see the post in Scott Garden thread.
Of course, any reasonable reader would understand the gist of the statement is the noise can be heard from Casa Desa. Is it exactly at 1km? Or that 1km is just an approximation to add some context to the gist of the sentence? Why I used 'music' when it could have been noises from the crowd? Another exaggeration, perhaps? Or when I said weekend nights, do I meant Saturday or Sunday? Does that means nothing can be heard on Wednesday?
Now, it is been further shortened and intepretated as '1km away also can hear the music'.
It's like saying 'the doctor who treated my father is a woman.'
And been intepreted as '.. my father is a woman'.
If some people dont have good comprehensive skills, they will be confused by the semantics.
I said I would spent more time on this.. but it's damn funny lar.
Hahahaa.. ok i really stop this time.
U really a joker........
That 2 sentence u can take as comparison?...... I really doubt you hav 'good comprehensive skills'....... I admit my skills is limited..... But, I did not make any wrong accusation for sure.....
My points are.....
Firstly, I hav never say there is no noise pollution...
Secondly, I says i doubt even 500m will hear the music..... Fair enough there ppl clarify and proven I'm wrong.....
Thirdly, I says "1km away also can hear the music" is exaggerate which I'm quite sure of it and hav I taken out any unimportant contexts from tat sentence?.... Did I denial any other context like, damn noisy or the weekend matter?
So tell me who is "taking things out of context"?
