Yes, I get that.
Do you agree with me that the guy is obviously asking about the idiomatic usage that I'm referring to?
 
mayhaps. i don't know.
 
The evidence is that he's reading, not hearing informal speech. In the case of informal speech it's hyperbole, if he's reading it I'm almost certain to be right. Either way that other guy is wrong.

Q: What's the difference between “bucket” and “pail”?

VitalyWhat is the difference between bucket and pail? Is there a distinction between the shape of a bucket and the shape of a pail? Are buckets and pails made of different materials? Is there a difference between substances carried in buckets and pails? Is there dialectal variation in the use of thes...

Ugh
What the fuck, the accepted answer is total and complete bullshit
Tbhat place is fucking lame
 
When I read the question as written, the OP is either intentionally misusing the word beyond or he has never heard of a word that has many similar and not so similar meanings, which I tend not to believe. He's either a troll, or a non-native speaker. I'm going with troll; his written English is too good.
No non-native speakers use e.g. in a sentence properly-ish like that
 
He's not a native speaker and he has trouble with idioms, I'm quite sure :P
He saw "I am beyond good and evil" and had no idea what that meant. :)
 
EG. That's the red-hand.
Ne never says that
 
12:12 AM
Ne?
 
*he
or she, I shouldn't judge
I think he's trolling. I won't feed him.
 
:)
THat bucket question pisses me off.
 
it's old. let it go
 
Ugh.
I'm glad I'm not asking anything there.
I'd hate to be embarrassed because I did it wrong because of someone's answer :)
Okay, I'm closing the window, I can't take anymore.
 
wow. how unexpected. :)
was that a new record?
 
12:30 AM
Yes
 
At any rate, I gotta go. There's some life I have to attend to.
 
I stay a shorter and shorter time every time I go there, because I already know that I can't help no matter how hard I try
Okay!!!
TTYLbrother!
:D :D

Hm, well, it seems that the gods of SE are going to have a look at the english language and usage site
Because it's not up to SE quality standards
(Someone apparantly just got really angry about the bucket question. :P )

Account at English is now deleted.
:D
I feel better already!
I feel like a burden is lifted from my back, tbh.
I might write a poem about it.
I also complained to someone I know at SE about the poor quality of that site
(But not before I totally blew up a question because someone was insisting that "pail" is not a synonym for "bucket". :P)

@standback, that wasn't a duplicate of the last one, as I mentioned in the post iteslf.
@NeilFein thank yo0u
 
You're welcome.
 
@NeilFein it turned in to a mess
:(
 
What's wrong with it? I reverted to the edit you made.
 
Well, you werent around
So I just opened a dupe
And no one read the text of the dupe explaining that it was the edit
And it got closed by @standback
 
Why did you open a dupe?
I just deleted the dupe, it's just cluttering up the board. Please don't do that.
Opening a duplicate of a closed question is an attempt to get around the system.
 
9:36 PM
It wasn;t in this case.
Since, I edited my question to an acceptable version, then you werent here, and someone else said to just open a new one
So I did
 
Have a little patience? patience; mods here are volunteers, and we're not on Stack Exchange 24/7.
Who advised you to open a new one?
 
Well, I was fine with waiting
It wasn't a mod, that was my mistake
I cant remember his name ... Might have neen norcal
 
I don
I don't need to know who it is, maybe just pass that along?
:)
 
I hope you don't think I was intentionally trying to get around anything: I would never open the question again in the form that was closed
 
9:53 PM
I understand. Just FYI for the future.
