    Likewise, as a parent, when my wife & I say to our kids "I hope you clean your room before we get home," they know full well what that meanshttps://twitter.com/McFaul/status/872831284690640896 …

    As a professor, when I tell students, I would "hope" that you make certain changes in a paper, they understand clearly what I'm expecting.

        Exactly. They know you are not asking them to clean their room, but rather giving them a directive.

        Yes, but in a legal context, it's meaningless. You can't prosecute based on implication or "Well, we all know what you meant."

        Yes. When my Commander would say I hope to see you in the meeting, he wasn't giving me an option. We all dang sure knew it was an order.

        Ditto. Amazing how it's so commonly known that when a person in authority says "I hope you.." it's a polite order, but an order nonetheless
