You might not be aware of this, but “mixed feelings” is a common idiom in the English language to describe uncertainty. It does not necessarily denote emotive thinking or emotion at all. In case you didn’t know, and by your reply, I’m assuming you did not, an idiom is defined as a word or phrase that has a figurative definition that differs from it’s literal translation.

It’s a shame that I have to explain this to a FReeper.

Hey! My mother was an English major, and she learned me how to talk real good. Besides from that, your uncertainty is not supported by facts, and that is my point.

Your condescension doesn’t get you out of this uninformed opinion you have.
