Yes. She didn’t check the dictionary. She didn’t check the validity of wilcos x in an earlier episode this series either. Misleading for viewers.
I'll say my cheerios then, you know like when Jack told Rose not to say her goodbyes when they were in the Atlantic. What's the difference?
The difference is purely in how the dictionary defines it (so take it up with them). It's not done by what we consider to be reasonable usage.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:17 pmI'll say my cheerios then, you know like when Jack told Rose not to say her goodbyes when they were in the Atlantic.

Sure. Susie seemed to suggest that she would have accepted it had it been offered.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:40 pmThe difference is purely in how the dictionary defines it (so take it up with them).

GOODBYE is both an exclamation and a noun; CHEERIO is an exclamation only, and not a noun at all.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 8:17 pmI'll say my cheerios then, you know like when Jack told Rose not to say her goodbyes when they were in the Atlantic. What's the difference?
