Maybe you are unable to correctly interpret what I have said because
you've assumed that I am never capable of saying precisely what I
mean. If that is the case, you are mistaken.

You were the one who introduced the possibility of an inappropriate
word, not I.

Command: To direct with authority; give orders to.

Who has authority over the alcoholic or is in a position to give him/her
orders?

LOL at your decision to try to lay the blame on me for your inability
to
understand the point I was making.

Johnathan,

Remembering other conversations we've had, I think it likely that this
one is one of those in which we are unlikely to be able to see eye to
eye. If only for that reason, I think it a good idea for me to not
continue talking.
