David said: I don’t think anyone else on this site in that age range could do, no point. :p
That’s not an absolute yo.
An absolute would be:
I know for a fact that there’s no one in that age range (14-16) on this site that can achieve that score.
Notice how I purposefully used the word “think” and “could.” I originally wrote it as an absolute, but changed it afterwards.
That’s not the absolute. “Anyone” is the absolute as it covers every possible scenario. Showing uncertainty doesn’t change the fact that you’re using an absolute. “I think I’ll never find someone to love” is still an absolute even with the word “think” in there. I was just pointing out that what your final thought on the matter wasn’t a wise one because of the use of the word “anyone.”
