Aim or juxtaposition?

Aim. Except it won't let me write just that one word, as it's under ten characters:D. You know with me - I've used the exact right word I've used (a 'consideration of what to say and how to say it' - Aspergerese:rotfl:) or else, if I haven't, I'd have amended it pretty soon:D.

Oh - goodnight again!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I look forward to it then. For me price reality is objective. Price perception is subjective.

You've got me wondering how can price reality have an aim? :think:

She used that exact word, in an almost whisper. I think because we have the measure of each other and felt comfortable doing so which is always nice.
It has made me think about things though. Having the ability (even if not by choice) to battle on in life without the hinderance of worrying about what other people think is a really enviable quality maybe us that do worry about it are the disadvantaged ones?

Oh Im too thoughtful for a Sunday night

Oh.
One of my SAs at the till exclaimed that the other day and, you know what, I didn't notice:D. It's cos I'm a young (..erm... at heart, and face) man and so was he! He was trying to get a GC to scan and then kept messing it up - first he added the amount I was spending onto the card, then forgot how to get a payment by GC.:rotfl:

Don't know why I posted about this - unremarkable really. Oh- I guess I was replying to the post!:) Even if I ought to be disappearing without saying another 'goodnight'_pale_:rotfl:.

The aim of price perception. And price reality. (Or insert a comma after "perception".)

Ah, see - got you there! Else I'd have said (in my total accurate and unambigious way) the aim of price perception and the aim of price reality. I guess the original version did not translate to normals. Nor was it supposed to:D. Anyway: reality is subjective, since our version of "reality" is always a perception:rotfl: (as there's no way of knowing what true "reality" is, as we can only ever perceive it through our distorting senses interpreted by/'felt' by our brain). But, I'm digressing: the 'reality' of pricing - i.e. how much someone else paid for something, in pounds and pence, compared to what we got it - for can be assessed objectively and one calculated as a percentage of the other etc. as no doubt you could do. (Obviously we are all wrong and 'distorted', in how much we are paying for something, whilst everyone else, muggles, is right.)

Erm.... goodnight again (again!).:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Gotcha now :beer:

That was why I was thinking "the juxtaposition of price perception and price reality"

I'm no longer looking forward to reading it then :rotfl:

As an aside(!) - regarding just one piece of that article: "You probably believe that your eyes register high-fidelity information about the absolute size, speed and distance of visible objects and that you respond based on these impartial data." Not true in my case: I don't believe my eyes register that at all as I know, as a person on the autism spectrum, that some research (zzz....:rotfl:) seemed to show that people with autism may perceive motion twice as fast as those without. The person with autism does perceive the world wholly differently to someone without (look - I could go on and on, about when someone with autism goes into a room and sees everything, and everything, and the pattern on the carpet, as I've mentioned before, but that's the support for that and I'm sure if you're interested "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome" by Tony Attwood and material by the National Autistic Society provide more detail on this!:rotfl:). Thanks folks - a final goodnight!!:wave: (Added here after the post below:rotfl::rotfl:.)

(...Maybe the above linked article (you should read it in full) illuminates how people perceive displayed prices and affects how much money they are/aren't saving? Hmm, I don't know.) I'd rather know the reality of pricing (how much something truly is a rip-off) - maybe Mr Sainsbobs wants us to know the perception.
