@Blanca, Bi: grammar --- One should accept that non-native speakers have a different perception of some English expressions, compared with the natives, even if they know exactly what that expression means.

I remember how delighted I was when I heard for the first time the character named Urquhart in "House of cards" saying:

"You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment".

I believe that this is a masterpiece of elegant ambiguity combined with deniable clarity and, at the same time, heightened by a delicate zest of humour.

And, to be honest, I couldn't possibly translate it into an equally subtle expression in other languages, including my maternal one.
