I think versus I know
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this:
If I think something about something, I can say “I think like this about it”. I can’t say “I know it”.
It is not good if a person says “I know it” about something, if they don’t know it.
"I think it's going to rain later.' vs 'I know it's going to rain later."
"I think the LEGO movie is the greatest movie of all time.' vs 'The LEGO movie is the greatest movie of all time."
