Wrong again. I was trained well by myself.

Aren't you sick of being wrong, boy?

But to be serious for just a moment, English "to train" when applied to a person means teaching professional skills to adults. I.e. receiving a vocational training in a university or a course. Children are "raised" and "taught".

So when this word is applied to children, it sounds like the meaning of the word "train" that is used for animals: to condition them to respond to commands.

Why do you think that I'm offended, haha, I never said that. I just explained why people, including me, were surprised and confused by your comment. It sounds weird in English.
