> Well, actually you did say something like that, and it was in a response to me. Yes, there are people who just want to be reassured rather than be told the truth, but I am not one of those. My saying that I am sure my house doesn’t _stink_ (stink - to emit a strong offensive smell) doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want a frank answer if I asked you if you could _smell_ ( smell - to perceive the odor or scent of through the nose by means of the olfactory nerves; inhale the odor of) pets in it.
