    Here we are - if you don't like my obsession with this - actually if you don't, please post and say so, as directly as possible, as I can't read behind what's on any of here (not literally any of course:rotfl:). Hey ho - from the BBC News home page, I noticed "Literally minded" led to this:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-27975772

    Regarding an instruction like "Do not cross the yellow line", you'd never get on a train at all if you followed that! I think, at some point, some 'common sense' has to come into things and, yet, people with Asperger's do have some deficit in 'common sense', myself sometimes, and, with me you see what is called "common sense" sometimes actually isn't. Not only is the supposed "sense" also not in fact "common" at all, in that it isn't common sense to some or many other people but always reminds me of the legal case where a judge sent the jury out on a murder trial having asked them to use their "common sense". Jury foreman (or woman maybe) returned and asked the judge to clarify what they meant by "common sense". Obviously the members of the jury must have (my common sense approach there I suspect;) - what an assumption of mine here, almost undoubtedly incorrect) had some disagreement(s) or debate about what was 'common sense' between themselves - different people think differently - what is 'common sense' to one person is not to another etc. - and, well... I have no idea what any of it means anymore:rotfl::(.

    (At some point I think you have to step back from the definition and, well, just use your common sense. Whatever that may mean(:rotfl::rotfl:).)

    To be honest (as only I can be:D, yet that (the 'To be honest') is meant as a turn of phrase;)), I thought he looked like a person with Asperger's. They (who?:p) say you can't tell from the way someone looks... but, I think, to the trained eye, you can! You'll have noticed (i.e. you probably won't have noticed but I'm looking at it from my own viewpoint and forgetting that anyone else could have a different viewpoint once more, except that I'm not, since I'm now recognising and seeing this) that I've lost some of my pedantry, for example in the area over the different terms used to describe various conditions in this area and going for the simple explanation rather than the technically correct and complete accurate one:rotfl:.

    But good at me, focusing on the details eh, as the thing about the chickens "by Weight" would not have been picked up otherwise. Maybe good on me, who knows? Just trying not to imply some sort of superiority you see:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Really, what I ought to do is forget about this, or maybe not, and start writing my own book and start promoting myself across the country, finding my niche, and making money.

    Do I bore people, generally, about this btw - or do you find me interesting?:question:
