      358 crashes in a year is close enough to an average of one per day that it’s pretty fucking pedantic to say "but not every day - especially given that most of the time that people say something happens “every day” it’s being used loosely, not literally.
      “People get shot by cops every day” is a phrase that is effectively accurate, even if nobody happened to be shot on, say, February 21st.

        358 deaths due to crashes*, not the same as crashes themselves as multiple can die per crash

        i came into this conversation with a light (pedantic) heart and an open mind. i am still willing to he corrected but cussing me out does nothing buddy.

          Oh I wasn’t trying to cuss you out, sorry if it came off that way. It’s early and I usually filter out my language a bit before posting but I commonly use curse words for emphasis and stuff. I blame it on being a (former) sailor. And thanks, I may have misread that - that’s what I get for commenting before I even had gotten out of bed.

              You too! And this place could use a bit more chill for sure. People tend to forget the human on the other side of the conversation.
