The title implies it directly.

If you saw an article titled “My Nana is the nicest person you could possibly meet”, would you interpret that to be a statement that your own grandmother is considerably less nice?

  • That is what the author would be implying, yes. Though, you may quibble over "considerable".

    • Pedantry is rarely a good look. But intentionally misreading intent barely even qualifies as pedantry.

      I like to imagine that people this ridiculous get into fist fights on the street constantly.

      Normal person: “My wife is the absolute best.”

      Pedant: “Don’t you dare insult my wife!” fists fly
