What? You said:
> Divers' suits are not dry
Wetsuits are wet. Drysuits are dry. Sometimes divers wear wetsuits, and some of the more experienced ones wear drysuits.
> Divers' suits are not dry
Wetsuits are wet. Drysuits are dry. Sometimes divers wear wetsuits, and some of the more experienced ones wear drysuits.
The comment I responded to said that divers use drysuits so this guy should be wearing one. No matter how you put it, the article says that the guy used a wetsuit.
Please, stop for a moment and let this little fact sink: the guy wore a wetsuit and the article clearly states this much.
Yes, I could have said that NOT ALL Divers' suits are dry. But the fact is that MOST of them aren't and in the single specific case THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, the suit wasn't dry.
So why the hell do I need to clarify these obvious things? I have no idea.
Oh, and the fact that people use downvoting to "win" these petty fights.
I didn't downvote you - and in general I don't downvote.
You stated a factually incorrect statement originally and I corrected you. Maybe you meant to say something else but you actually didn't.
> Yes, I could have said that NOT ALL Divers' suits are dry.
That would have really helped. This is HN, a lot of us are coders, you can expect us to be picky.
I wouldn't take it personally.
