Extra Step
Anyone remember doing Calculus homework and showing all your steps in the answer? It was kinda annoying that each answer was worth 5 marks or something like that because you had to show how you got to the answer. Turns out the process is more important than the answer itself. Sometimes a step could be omitted, which is what I don't get. If you could omit a few unimportant steps, why do people still go through them in the first place? I'm not talking about Calculus anymore, I'm talking about other stuff like talking or doing things. It's really annoying when people have to make something extremely simple into something extremely complicated.
That day my sis and dad were talking about how HK if you use your credit card to buy stuff they give you 10-15% discount, but if you use anything else then there isn't a discount. Also, it has to be the specified card like VISA or MasterCard from a specific bank. So she said two words: "boost sales." My dad for argument sake said something like this: "No, not to boost sales, but to make people buy more stuff using credit cards you know?" Well, she knows, but she was just simplifying it to two words, and those two words are true. Talking with people is sometimes extremely frustrating! We seem to be lacking vocab, otherwise why would we need to use short words to replace one word that's longer? It just doesn't make sense. The most frustrating part isn't getting confused by the conversation, but being corrected when you're not wrong in the first place! I don't even WANT to speak anymore because I know that no matter what I say it won't matter. I'd just be rephrased by less elegant words.
