Now I was looking in this forum and saw someone asked what "In a broad sense" meant and I saw an answer that confused me. Now keep in mind, I'm not asking you to give me your own definition of "In a broad sense", but help on understanding the definition that's been given. This was the answer that was given:
'Broadly speaking' can be used to mean 'speaking generally, without detail or unusual exceptions' - e.g. 'Broadly speaking, you're more likely to come across this kind of behaviour in the UK as opposed to Latvia'.
'In a broad sense' is similar, but it applies more to the meaning of what you're saying than its specific facts - eg 'In a broad sense, this is English behaviour rather than Latvian'.
'In a broad sense' means any terms you're using (eg in this case 'behaviour', 'English', and 'Latvian') need to be interpreted with the greatest possible latitude rather than in their most narrow, literal meaning
So what does this person mean by "applies more to the meaning of what you're saying than its specific facts". What's the "Meaning" and "Specific Facts" of what you're saying? And how does the phrase apply itself to it?
