provided said reaction is 'this feels wrong to me' and not 'this is wrong' of course.
But you said that it would make me appear thick. These people are going to look at something I did and use that to deduce that my intelligence is subnormal. That's not "This feels wrong to me." it's a judgement of another person based on pretty specific language use.
About half an hour ago someone emailed me using "there" rather than "their". And yeah, that grated. But I didn't think that the person that used it was thick. Just either in a hurry or had misremembered which way round it goes.
Blech. Yes, I knew I shouldn't have got into this. Clearly you are a saint and never make any of the snap judgments about people that everyone else on the planet makes all the time. I'll be over here in the corner being elitist and ignorant.
I'm not a saint by any means. I'm just terribly P. I associate J behaviour, generally with bullying. In fact, being judgemental is probably the biggest thing that I do have a snap judgement about.
