Donation vs payment

It does? To me it sounds like they'll only perform their service for payment. I can only guess as to why they call it a 'donation' - maybe they want to create the illusion that your payment is a voluntary gift, and not a deal breaker if not forthcoming, so they can appear altruistic.

Why do I smell Catholic Church...?



Not surprising.

You're right, Dezante. This is the first time in human history that a phrase has taken on a meaning that isn't precisely what the dictionary says. This is truly an outrage.

^This.

It's the polite way to say pay me for the time I'm taking to save you some time.

Welcome to life. You have to read in-between the lines in everyday life all the time. Same with social interactions online...

Oh you're just being an overly sensitive hyper grammarian. Ok. Waste of a post then.

No, it's about definition, not grammar.

That aside, I see that this thread has generated quite a load of animosity, which is not surprising. Ridicule and crass claims is the standard retort by fools, markedly when they realize their folly.

Language will continue being butchered, I had no illusions this thread would change any of that, rest assured.

Having leveled a Druid to 39 for the sole purpose of being a port bitch while auctioning off stuff in EC, I find it absolutely retarded to pay anything over 20p for a port.

Click one button, load, click a second button to gate back to EC. Trying to sell others on the idea you are a 'service' provider or a small business owner that demands time/money/respect is ridiculous.
