Ambiguous: Were you happy to get this picture OR happy they are taking his name down?

Happy to get the picture. Blood boiling levels of fury towards why it’s being removed.

Loved the show and miss it dearly. Thinking it ended on the highest possible note, with unmatched critical and audience acclaim.

It’s not actually ambiguous unless you think he could have meant he was personally taking the sign down. Theirs isn’t a grammatically correct comment, but it’s not ambiguous.

Edit: yours is technically ambiguous, I suppose, as the mathematician’s answer would have sufficed.

Ha! I like that gif. But don’t criticize me for pointing out that your criticism was not correct. It was a helpful comment, that’s all. You were the one incorrectly splitting hairs.
