There they are not asking you do something. They are asking you *if* you are willing to do something.
So you were not even there and you are going to tell me what he meant.  ::)

Wrong, I have been asked many times by my boss to do something and politely said no.
It is a sign of respect to ask in those situations.
Perfect example: Can you work overtime this Friday? No I already have plans.
That is why the words don't have the same meaning in the same context. English 101.  :)
Again, this is not something you are REQUIRED to do in your capacity of "underling." but if it was during regular work hours and your boss "asks" you to start working on a project, is that really asking or telling?
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

According to this “demand” is a hyponym of “ask”

It was very obvious what he meant in that context. Assuming I need to be there to understand the words does your case no favors. As I have repeatedly said I invite you to ask any third party their opinion. I even offered to put money on it. Until then keep drinking your Kool Aid.

It is asking if he asks. I am not a sheep and I speak up. Don't ask (choice) me to do something when you really meant to tell (no choice) me to do it. I can't believe this is even a question.

Forgive me if I suspect your sister of bias. Just wouldn’t be fair to you ;)

Umm how about we find someone somewhere in between your sister (your choice) and any random forum member (my choice). Not to mention your sister doesn’t have an account here so I’d be taking your word for it altogether, and trusting you to phrase the question as I wrote it out.

I think you can get an honest answer here on the forums by working out the exact wording of the question together, and then posting it in a new thread, with no mention who said what and what the entire back and forth was. Maybe even put a poll, though members who saw this thread should refrain from voting.

We are not phrasing anything. It is simple as if ask/tell have the same meaning in the same sentence. We are not getting into the mindset of the person asking/telling or the mindset of the person on the receiving end. We have no way no know their thinking and just gives you a way to not pay.

I have been told over and over Jews treat other Jews the same as family. I suggest a qualified person and he has an issue that she is family member when every person he suggested is also a family member in his eyes.

My suggestion was a blind test. Nobody will know who said which opinion.

Which would work with your sister, if you present it without saying which opinion is yours.

Of course I am not going to tell her what my opinion is.

DDFers treat other DDFers the same as family.

That’s your new version of the facts, but that’s not what the question was. The question was a very specific one about a very specific statement made by a very specific person.

You made up the question after you twisted yourself in a pretzel. The way you worded the poll shows how dishonest you are.
To answer the poll you have to know what was in Trumps mind, good luck. This is a simple question if ask/tell mean the same thing. I see you conceded you were wrong on them being the same meaning and moved on to the pretzel.  ::)

Really. Please do quote me where I said that was the question. I won’t hold my breath.
