What does it mean when people say 'I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt'? I've heard it so many times and have a slight hint or gist of
appreciation of what it might mean from the context but could never
fully understand it in simple words. Please explain, thanks!
When you ask these sorts of questions, it would be beneficial if you were to mention what your native language is.
