I'm close to being a native speaker considering I have been learning english since I was 5. So please spare me that. The way I used it does in fact make sense. And you don't know what you are talking about. If I could not get this right there is no way in hell I would be getting As on essays.Dude, I think your English is fantastic. The rest of it was perfectly fine, I'm just trying to point out the idiom.
Idioms are tricky to use, especially if you're not a native speaker. The way you used it doesn't make sense. We knew what you wanted to say, so it's cool, it's just that you might want to know how the phrase is used.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

Wrong, wrong. I still used it properly for the meaning I intended.
The meaning you intended is that the projections are crap, is it not?
With the idiom, and how you said it, the meaning is that you actually put stock in those projections.
What BustaMike and I are trying to point out is that the idiom, the way you used it, does not convey what we think you're trying to say.B♭3Comment

Unless you use that figure of speech in every essay...
Look, I'm a native speaker and even I don't get all the idioms right. I've been known to think that "your goose is cooked" was a good thing...B♭3Comment
