You think Steven was indirectly accusing you of unethical behavior (trolling for StackOverflow upvotes)?. That's not the sense I got from his original reply, but I can understand it if you did. If that's your complaint, I'll leave it to Steven to say what his intent was - and, if appropriate, to apologize for unintended offense.
Thank you.
This isn't about advanced English usage. It's about the ordinary meanings of ordinary words in (what should be!) simple contexts. If I said to you

I suppose the incompressible phrase, per se, could be code of the programming language Monicelli, la supercazzola: https://github.com/esseks/monicelli#declaration-1 Anyway, I suppose the phrase will be clear in the context ;-) PS: comunque rimani sempre un geniaccio PPS: @Chris: "pretend" derives from latin praetendere, pre-tendere, to tend first. Anyway, blame Google: https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=pretendere+in+inglese
