| Aug 9, 2023 at 23:20 | comment | added | Ami guest poster | Like I said, the confusion is a little coming from the English, where totally has acquired casual usage from surfers and Valley girls and general public. It could have been that German also has this issue. See that sometimes, with subtleties of meaning. But it seems like this nuance of drift affects English only. So that is a learning for me...hence the question. | |
