The difficulties of cross cultural communication.

92. We really don't have any idea what the aunt meant

And we actually only have the OP's account of it.
But given the context of why he posted it and what he was reacting to (he posted the same thing in the other thread)
I responded with the thought we were talking about people invoking miracles.
He even asked the question of what miracle was she referring to, which seemed obvious.
If he had a different pur[owe to the thread, it was poorly explained and he never made it clearer.
So do I know what the aunt meant of if the story is accurate, of course not.
Do I sometimes assume things based on cultural bias, of course.
But both these statements in the two threads were used to discuss the broader ideas of what the implications are when people say and mean them.
