Why would a model know that one washes cars at a car wash? We don't clean our bodies at the body wash or clean the kitchen at the kitchen wash.

Ok im supposed to assume that a model doesn’t know cars get washed at a car wash?

But then im supposed to give it access to write code in my repositories. Sorry, what are you trying to get at here?

There's meaning in the term "car wash" that it understands. But I don't suspect anyone has taught it that for 99.9% of people, going to car wash ONLY means that you're going to wash your car and that it should make that implicit assumption.

What if you're the car wash owner? Or a maintenance technician? Pretty easy to just walk over there if you're just 50ft away.

to your point, when my Aussie friends first mentioned a "car park" to my north american born self, i wondered _momentarily_ what that was, then realized it's sort of a fun name for what i would call a parking lot.

  • I've never thought of it as a fun term before.

    We use "park" as "I will park the car" not park as in "amusement park"
