Its definitely different online than in person
Indeed
I gave up trying to make amends as it was apparent that whatever I did would be inadequate
I was labelled “that misogynist” and so I could never be anything else apparently
There’s that damned lazy easy way to avoid how people really are again
Loose → Tight
Lose → Win
I’m not pointing that out to be petty, I just think you’re the kind of person that likes to get it right.
“Racist” in itself has become a label used to try to stifle debate and control what opinions people are allowed to express. Baseless accusations of racism are scattered around like confetti now.
One more label for you
Never thought you would be, and yes, I appreciate it. (and I actually do know that one, but sometimes it slips through).
In my opinion you have to have a weird sense of self if you rather continue to embarrass yourself with bad English rather than learn about a mistake you make.
And considering that I had to repeat a year at school because I was so bad at languages (English, Latin, AND German) and a teacher wrote under an essay of mine “Markus, never ever do anything with English” … and that in 1989 (so a far less tolerant time) I spend the first 6 months in Edinburgh talking about my “boy friends” and “girl friends” because I had concluded from the girls always talking about their girlfriends that male friends are “boy friends” and female friends are “girl friends” … I really REALLY appreciate everyone’s help in getting me to my current level. Couldn’t have done it without them.
P.S.
too, not to … another one that slipped through … fixed it …
See me care …?
