Please. It’s all about audience? Context? If you’re tooting your own horn about your own greatness, it’s bragging. That it’s a fact is implicit. Otherwise it would be a lie.
You’re playing a very poor semantics game. I’m better at it than you are. And that’s true, for sure. And it is absolutely bragging.
“It ain’t bragging if it’s true” is proof of deep, willful ignorance. By your way of thinking, every braggart is a liar. Come on, man. Words have meaning.
When it comes to “a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern,” we could use a new word in English that points out a distinction as to whether the concern is merited or not. Shrugging at climate change is “apathetic.” Not being interested in learning about a departed structure you never cared about in the first place? Not the same thing.
You must be new here. Teachers ADORE him. I will never, ever understand why.
