Naaaaaa

respectfully I believe you took that out of context in a direction that was not implied.
recognizing the necessity for computing in the current year of our lord was thought to already be recognized by the reader.

To be fair, you literally said people will regret putting their info on computers, which obviously implies that they wouldn't do it again if given the choice

People regret eating ice cream and still do it, I don't think there is an implication of removing ice cream from society.

So if I said, someone would regret going down the chunky monkey Häagen-Dazs road, i'm not implying the removal of sugary high fat frozen delights.

But who am I , living the blue bell dream.

More Relative Question pertaining to the thread....

Is the UK Air Traffic System similar to the US system?
Maybe someone who has flown in/out of the UK can illuminate the severity of a 130+ Flight Cancelation.
Obviously not good, but US had a major Flight Cancelation recently due to hardware malfunctions.

This is a pretty pedantic argument. Great, I'm down.

Since this is a debate forum, I disagree because you're twisting the definition of regret into "I don't actually regret eating ice cream, I'm just complaining verbally because it's socially acceptable to joke around about this".

I'm reading regret as "I actually wouldn't do it again"

People don't "regret" eating ice cream. People do "regret" gambling their life savings away. Big difference

Your wording didn't sound like the colloquial, joking version of "regret"

again, respectfully, your interpretation of the word regret has no bearing on the established english definition.

REGRET', noun
1. Grief; sorrow; pain of mind. We feel regret at the loss of friends, regret for our own misfortunes, or for the misfortunes of others.
Never any prince expressed a more lively regret for the loss of a servant.
Her piety itself would blame, if her regrets should waken thine.
2. Pain of conscience; remorse; as a passionate regret at sin.
3. Dislike; aversion. [Not proper nor in use.]

REGRET', verb transitive
1. To grieve at; to lament; to be sorry for; to repent.
Calmly he look'd on either life, and here saw nothing to regret or there to fear.
2. To be uneasy at. [Not proper nor in use.]

Here's what you wrote originally



If I take your word now, you're saying we're all going to SERIOUSLY regret putting our lives online. But we don't actually regret it, we're just going to complain and then keep doing it because we actually prefer it

Can we get back on topic?

Edit: if it helps us get there, you win, I concede.
