"Almost doesn't count" nghĩa là suýt làm hay gần như làm thì vẫn là chưa làm, đều không tính.

Ví dụ
“I almost hit a parked car.”
“Almost doesn't count,” Lester said.

A: "Leave the Catholic Church! How could we do that? You were almost a priest (linh mục). I was almost a nun (ni cô),” she added after a moment.
B: "Almost' doesn't count."

But when it comes to obedience, no one ever has gotten, or ever will get, “points” for coming close. Achan only took a little of the spoil at Jericho, but it brought severe punishment. Trying doesn't count. Almost doesn't count.

Mer: "I gues you could say, I'm a product of a long-held secret. A secret that almost destroyed me.”
Cindy: “Mer, almost doesn't count.”
Mer: “You're right, only counts in horseshoes.”
