I'm also offended at being called a racist, sexist or homophobe, because I find all those things offensive myself. I think calling someone a racist is designed to offend them, also it's normally said by people who are offended by virtually everything.
I guess I'm not offended by pretty much everything else. I'm not really a very easy person to offend.

It doesn't offend me but one of my pet peeves are certainly people who have a problem having mistakes pointed out. If it's petty and not a big deal then no need to let it bother you
I much prefer pedantic people over people who care about mistakes being pointed out when learning one's mistakes however small is a good thing. Hehe. Doesn't offend me though. It's just annoying when people whine when I correct them. It feels egotistical. If it's not a big deal then so what if you made a mistake, ya know?
Lol obviously we disagree there but I'm also in the minority. Happy to be in the minority. I think it's humble to be pedantic, lol.
Happy to help.
Cheers dude! I wish you corrected me more often! There's kudos in it for ya! Normally I think some of your posts are talking bollocks but if you correct actual mistakes then you're RIGHT. Yay for non-wrongness.
I didn't kudos your post this time because when talking about how calling people racist offends you you didn't specify that that only applies to non-racists being called racists. Actual racists should be called out as a racist as much as possible.
Also, allow me to return the favor:
Quote:You need a comma after but 'but' and a peroid period after 'bother you'. obviously 'Obviously' obviously should be capitalized and 'Happy to be in the minority.' snd and 'Doesn't offend me.' are incomplete sentences because they lack an object.
Fixed.
(You're actually wrong though... "obviously" shouldn't be capitalized because that sentence started with "Lol"
Also.... the incomplete sentences were intentional and for punchy effect or whatever. You know, being informal, talking like George Carlin does sometimes
Incomplete sentences are fine when we're being informal sometimes.)(December 20, 2016 at 10:40 pm)Tres Leches Wrote:(December 20, 2016 at 3:44 am)Alasdair Ham Wrote: That would make me the most offensive person here, lol.

Funny, I've never viewed you as a pedant, Alasdair. I see pedants as miserable dullards and I don't see you that way.
Or maybe I don't know you well enough.
You've never debated me and seen me turn into a robot lol.
