Hello Anons.
I recently heard that other languages have tenses similar to how we have 'past, future and present' tense but for how confident they are in the information they are speaking about. I have no clue if this is true but it feels like it'd solve 99.99% of the issues we currently have in the west.
As someone who tries to be very exact with how confident I am on information I wish english had this.

ITT: We make up endings to words to somehow convey confident levels to information similar to other languages.
