Lynores:
I don't mean to be offensive, if I point out some element of grammar, history, or just general elements of life that are incorrect, annoying, unclear, or just needing a comment.
As for the one about being ignored, I was just trying to keep the joke going for a couple more lines ... I thought most people would see that as humor. If it helps, I'll add little icons
when I'm joking, just to make sure. (Heck, how could anybody take that as offensive, stating that being ignored by most people was normal? How could anyone take that as anything but comic relief? In any language or culture? I mean, the fact that most people ignore most other people is one of the oldest jokes there is.
)
As for incorrect word use - I expect others to correct me if I say something stupid, inaccurate, or generally incoherent. If I fabricated a non-English word like "scalemail", I would expect somebody to ask me what the devil I was talking about... if for no other reason, just to make sure that everybody did know what I was talking about. (Better than operating on unclear instructions, you must admit.)
It's not meant to be offensive, just educational ... and I would expect the same in return. If I screw up the name of some Greek item, feel free to return the same. I won't take offense, and would in fact appreciate the help.
However, if you don't feel the same way, just ask ... because a year ago, I quit posting stuff over here due to people being excessively unreasonable or angry and interrupting work - and if anyone is angry over anything at all (with anything I said, or just in general), just say so, and I'll never come near here again. (And if anybody wants my help with damage models, they can contact me by PM over on MBX.) Because I try to help, but it won't hurt my feelings to not be here.
