Had an okay day until after getting home I learned I was still in fight with my girlfriend from before going out to Trivia night together Wednesday evening over a Star Trek Voyager episode we watched together a long while back 😵‍💫 and then another one this evening over me using the word sure instead of yes or no 😵 to answer a question she asked

What is the problem with "sure"?

[–] azura@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only thing I can think of is that sure sounds less convinced than yes. Sure might mean something more like “ok whatever”. Or at least that’s what I gather from fights with previous partners.

My girlfriend explained it to me as well (I'm not a native speaker), that should be it
