You never did it, but still made money for claiming that you had?

    I'd : contraction I + had, past participle active. Indicative of something having been done by the subject (in first person) in the past.

    "I did something I had never done (before / in the past).

    Looks like everyone but you understood it correctly - maybe you should brush up on your language comprehension skills?

    Maybe y'all could try having a sense of humor about things.

    Wrongly calling someone out while being too fragile to accept correction isn't a "sense of humor".

    I'm not the one too fragile to accept correction.

    Uh, it's right there. So yeah, you clearly are. Right here in this very thread.

    Okay, nooow I'm blocking the troll...

    I don't know what you think you proved. I've never met anyone as obtuse as you before.

    Take an English class, I'm sure YouTube has a good video explaining it (basically there are different "degrees" of past tense, did / had done etc.)

    It's still not implicit just because you inferred it.

    Well the word "before" doesn't need to implicit. The "had" in I'd is more than enough past for the sentence to make sense

    No, that simply indicated that they had not done the thing, i.e. at all.

    No, they never said "before."

    For someone who only posts insulting others and correcting (incorrectly a bunch too….) their grammar, you sure lack any amount of reading comprehension.

    Its always the loudest people who are the most guilty, I appreciate the lengths you go to prove this is still true.

    @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world I see a lot of toxic behaviour from you here and I will be keeping a closer eye on you in the future.

    As you @schmidtster@lemmy.world try not to bring disputes started in other comment chains into this one.

    I’ve tried just reporting them before. Doesn’t seem to do anything, so sorry for having to point it out. See this person all over Lemmy in lots of communities.

    And just had an interaction yesterday, so had to see what was new with them. Again, my apologies for bringing this to your attention, wasn’t bringing an argument in.

    In the English language, an action I "had done" is before an action I "did." It's a grammatical case, not an inference.

    He stated that he had not done it, not that he had not done it before.

    I did do this for web dev for a government contract. I got brought on for mobile optimizations but ended up doing full UI/UX design and marketing copy with no experience. All through their shitty in house WYSIWYG. $60/hr for a full year lol.

    In IT contracting (at least the fields I'm around) it's quite common that "being able to acquire new skills quickly" is one of the skills you get paid for, and the time needed for you to do that is accounted for in the project planning.
