Is this a real question? Do you have difficulty understanding metaphors?



I don't. Which is why I asked. If you mean something else, perhaps you could be so kind as to say it.


You do appear to have difficulty as you took what I said in metaphor and applied it literally. that's not how metaphors work.


You literally did not use a metaphor. You claimed that other people were making comparisons. But a metaphor is just one kind of comparative tool.


You continue to obstinately be overly semantic instead accepting that not everything is perfectly literal.


I understand not everything is perfectly literal. However, your literal point is bad and foolish, and if you were making a different one, it's still not clear what it is. So I'm just going to collapse this discussion believing that you didn't really have a point, and were just running your mouth with some hyperbole you coulnd't in the end justify.
