    Poster was unclear in what they were communicating. I get what they’re saying now, but it was easy to read a different meaning.

      No, you just commented without thinking.

      They clearly used the universal “you” and they pluralized the word “plates” making it non personal.

        Most jurisdictions I’m aware of have a plate on the front and back of the car. The plural still reads as a single car with my original reading.

        I fully admit I had the wrong reading with the additional viewpoint. Can you now admit that there are multiple ways to interpret the original post even if my first reading wasn’t the correct one?

          Nope.

          You’d have to intentionally misconstrue it to get that definition, most places require multiples plates so that’s stretching.

          You also lost all right to defend yourself or get forgiveness for just being an outright ass to the user instead of addressing it politely in your original response

          You wanted a “gotcha”, fucked up and are now trying to justify it, stop.
