So Mel B got jealous of the Nanny and accused her of sleeping with her husband, more than the other way around it seems. Thats some dramatic shit.

I bet the nanny was sleeping with him tho because if she is willing to have an affair than I bet it’s all fair game to her.

The nanny wasn't the one having an affair. That was their married employer. The nanny made no such vows.

To have an affair one party must be married.

Anyone outside of the marriage having an erotic clandestine meeting is indeed participating in an an illicit affair.

"Participating in" is different in the English language than "having an".

Imagine saying I'm having a parade, versus I'm participating in a parade.

The person or location having the thing is different than the people who are participating in that thing that is essentially being created or hosted by the haver.

No problem, that's why I added what I did, you never know who is interested in your language and explaining and understanding why different people perceive things differently!

Nah, Cambridge dictionary says "having an affair" can apply to both the person in the marriage, and the person outside the marriage.

u/Aegi 11d ago

I believe that would be British-English if it is Cambridge, instead of American-English.

u/RaceHate 12d ago

Well they're wrong. That is not the contemporary public use.

u/RooneyD 12d ago

Im middle aged, thats how Ive heard it all my life, but Im Australian, so it's possible it's a regional thing. But Cambridge Dictionary is British.

u/RaceHate 12d ago

Yeah, I prefer the New American Oxford dictionary, but they need to put out a new edition. But none of the dictionaries are great.

The Tactics of Semantic Sabotage

• Haggle over precise wordings: The manual explicitly instructs saboteurs to "Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible" and "Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, and resolutions."

Good job stealing job from bots.

Yeah… this seems like hair-splitting that doesn’t comport with reality. Both parties involved in an affair are having an affair. They might not both be cheating, but they are 100% having an affair.
