"Pretendere" in Italian means "to demand", it's a false friend with the
English "pretend". I don't know whether Marco is Italian (the false
friend might also be there between Spanish or whatever other romance
language he speaks and English, for all I know). From a native Italian
speaker's perspective, what he meant was very clear to me, but it's also
clear that an English speaker with no experience of Italian would not be
expected to understand the meaning necessarily.
Either way, from an outsider's perspective this whole bickering over
such a small thing seems unfit for a list where adults talk about
technical details. It seems to me that someone should swallow their
pride and let this thread drop once and for all, it's not bringing
anything useful or relevant.
