Just ask yourself
Who?
What?
Why?
When?
Where?
Anything else is just filler. I know a bunch of big words too šŸ˜‚, but most people, believe it or not, don’t appreciate it when you ASSERT your vocabulary, challenging whoever is conversing with you to ā€œkeep upā€ šŸ˜€
When the center calls you, I’m guessing you speak much differently than when you type here

Yes, I speak "much" differently. Verbal communication has It's limitations, as does written. I figure when people are on a device connected to an infinite source of information, they can look up words they don't understand and expand their horizons as needed. When communicating face to face you get many modes of communication: verbal, tone of voice and inflection, body language and facial expression. It makes understanding easier, but that's still limited by the fact that at UPS you get about 15 seconds to get your point across before having to move on to the next thing. I try to avoid all unnecessary communication while at work for that reason.

How many of you think they will force it at UPS? I was sure it would never happen but my brother is a copy repair guy for ,Ricoh and they haven't forced it yet technically but he sent me screenshots of an app they have to download stating their vaccine status with a warning saying they can terminate for lying about it and it says they expect all employees to get the shot when available. They even put a email address for employees to turn in others for lying about their vaccine status. That's some scary *.
Almost like in Nazi Germany ,

Now if you said highly recommended, I would agree.

Synonyms for the two words have 0 words in common.

Again I say, try again.

Saying "I encourage you to eat the pie" and "I recommend that you eat the pie" convey nearly identical ideas. Your focus on my word choice only serves to distract from the fact that your original assertions were wrong. Carry on.

It was central to an argument against the vaers website, and bringing that up as if everything on that has a cause/effect relationship. I guess your memory is failing, as well.

No it's not. You're conflating arguments. You said doctors are required to report whatever their patients tell them. I proved that to be incorrect. Bringing up the "required reporting" and "encouraged (recommended, whatever because It's not important) reporting" lists was simply extra information that wasn't necessary to refute your assertion. The fact that I used "highly encouraged" and "recommended" interchangeably is extraneous, and they mean the same thing within context, simply a difference of degree by adding "highly". You found the only inconsistency in what I wrote, as weak an inconsistency as it was, to deflect from the fact that you are wrong.

And I said I you was wrong on that one point and explained why I said what I said, something you can't do.

You forgot the word highly again, lol, and that is an important word. Highly encouraged is closer to required than it is to recommended. Differentiating degrees is essential to understanding the written word. Words really do have meaning, and part of communicating is knowing what words mean.

You are too much. Know I see why people say what they say about you.

Does this make sense to you?

Did I? Nope. I left it out of the first part because it's not important, and I used it later to show that I didn't forget it. All you are doing is proving either you aren't actually reading my posts, or you aren't comprehending what you read.

Nope. Lol.

It doesn't matter because it had nothing to do with the original point. And you are still wrong about recommend vs highly encourage vs required, so it really doesn't matter.

I could do better at letting people who argue above their capability to save face, of course they could just stop digging themselves deeper with incoherent nonsense.

Enjoy your ignorance.

Can't argue with someone with no concept of the English language.

Have a good evening, z
