Sid Nagy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Free can mean vacant\not in use too. It is all about context. And IMHO it was pretty obvious in what context Venus used the word free, when the conversation is about renting a room. Is there some vacancy?

Ayashe Ninetails Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Lol, I read it the same way as Sam did. Maybe it's regional, but I always speak like that. Is the room still free? Hey is the ladies' room free yet? Hi I heard you're overbooked now, but are there any hotel rooms free next week? Etc. Free = available 'round these here parts (or maybe a lot of parts...I haven't managed to confuse anyone with that when traveling just yet). Edit: Sid beat me to it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayeleeon Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 25 minutes ago, Sam1 Bellisserian said: I'm curious what you mean by "everything that implies"? Quite often free rent is offered in exchange for some service rendered. For example a maid might receive a room rent free, however she only will have that as long as she cleans the rest of the house. Exactly what the service is would vary with the situation of course. Also it is true that there are exceptions, situations where someone is offered a free place to stay without any expectation, though these are rare, particularly among people who don't know each other to start with.

Nice example using a maid Being in beYou I give out free stuff and people live free with me all the time. Nothing needed in exchange and they don't even have to clean up after themselves so no maid needed.

Within SL of course the possible services are a bit more limited. Though I have, in these forums, seen at least one offer of free room and board to someone who would RP as a maid.

Sid Nagy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) What about the famous "Mr Humphries, are you free?" then in the evergreen BBC show Are You Being Served? The fun of that sentence is that the staff would be in a setting with no customer in sight at the menswear department. There it meant clearly available. Of course there was the comical undertone to the other possibilities of the word free that made it even funnier.

TT120 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I read it as in "free rent". I would have used "available" in that sentence although I do understand what she meant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Nagy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) @venusrobins0n, there is no need to apologize for anything. What you wrote was perfectly clear. Free has the meaning of 'available' just as much as 'no costs involved'. Some people should use a dictionary at times. (Not meaning you).

Ayashe Ninetails Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'd hate to think what men were really asking me when sending texts and calls to see if I was free for dinner. 🤣 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
