18·2 天前just because ‘the definition for miser somehow, and some when, changed from “grumpy person who lives in the past”, to “someone stingy over money and is cheapskate”’ is not mentioned elsewhere, does not make it false.

115·2 天前just because there is no equivalent word for miser in the Chinese language, as someone who infatuates over the past and grumpy about the present, doesn’t mean the word does not exist in the English language.
