      Hi! Welcome to English 101.

      Today, you get to learn that the phrase “selling” here means “recommending”.

      It has nothing to do with literal transaction of goods or services for money. Instead, it is based on the concept of “salesmanship”, or convincing someone of the value of something - be it an idea or product. Recommending something is a method of selling it.

        Fine, I’m not recommending anything. Perhaps someone else noticed this and commented "that’s not how you sell…

          You literally said you “definitely recommend” it. Are you drunk?

          English lesson 2: you were not being told you shouldn’t recommend it.

          You were being made fun of for HOW you were attempting to recommend it.

            Alright, no need to put words in my mouth, you insisted on calling it recommending.

            Recommending can be a synonym for selling, but it isn’t in this case. I do recommend it, but I do not care what you do: I’m not selling.

            A word applicable here: ‘nuance’. Not everything is just as your first impression tells you

              “I can definitely recommend it”

              Yeah. You did. Not my words. Your words.

                  That is selling, as I explained to you. Saying “nuh-uh!” Doesn’t make you any more competent in the English language.

                    And I disagree with your opinion. You use language as you like, and I’ll say what I mean instead of what you think I mean

              I didn’t put words in your mouth.

              They are literally your words. You put your words in your mouth. What the fuck is wrong with you?

              Recommending can be a synonym for selling, but it isn’t in this case. I do recommend it, but I do not care what you do: I’m not selling.

              It is in this case. It is in every case. You were selling it. You were not putting a product on the market for exchange, but you were selling the idea of ownership.

              There is no “first impression”, there is what you were doing.

              The issue here is just your limited English vocabulary, and your own anger at your ignorance.

              It’s not a big deal. You didn’t understand something, and you had it explained to you. It’s over. Stop trying to argue, learn something new, put on your big boy pants and move on.

              I mean seriously, we can all read your first comment. Did you forget what you wrote?
