A quick definition of assertion:

An assertion is when someone says or does something to express a fact or opinion. It can be speaking, writing, or even just their behavior. Sometimes, if someone points or gestures to show something, that can also be an assertion. However, if someone faints or does something unintentional, that is not an assertion. Sometimes, if someone's behavior is really bad or dangerous, it can be called wrongful conduct.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Assertion is a statement or declaration made by a person through speaking, writing, or acting with the intention of expressing a fact or opinion.

Examples:

A witness in court making a statement about what they saw or heard.
A journalist writing an article expressing their opinion on a political issue.
A person pointing their finger to identify a suspect in a police lineup.

The examples illustrate how assertion involves expressing a fact or opinion through various means such as speaking, writing, or nonverbal behavior like pointing. It is important to note that assertion can be admissible as evidence in court if it meets certain criteria, such as being a statement under the hearsay rule.

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
