expressio unius est exclusio alterius

Read a random definition: proclamation of rebellion

A quick definition of expressio unius est exclusio alterius:

Expressio unius est exclusio alterius: This is a fancy Latin phrase that means when you mention one thing, it means you are excluding the other things. For example, if a rule says "each citizen is entitled to vote," it means that people who are not citizens are not allowed to vote. This is a way of interpreting laws or rules to understand what they mean. However, it's not always true, and it depends on the context of the situation. Sometimes, mentioning one thing doesn't mean you are excluding other things. This phrase is sometimes used in court cases to help judges understand what a law or rule means.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Expressio unius est exclusio alterius is a Latin term used in law that means "to express or include one thing implies the exclusion of the other, or of the alternative." This means that if a law or contract explicitly mentions one thing, it is assumed that other things are not included or allowed.

Example: If a job posting says "must have a bachelor's degree in computer science," it implies that applicants without a bachelor's degree in computer science are not eligible for the job.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the term works in practice. The job posting explicitly mentions that a bachelor's degree in computer science is required, which implies that applicants without this degree are not eligible. The term is used to help interpret laws and contracts and to understand what is included and excluded based on what is explicitly stated.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
