It could be considered bad launguage by some around here. Yeah, I understood what you meant - I just didn't notice. I don't consider "damned" to be considered bad in the right context - but when repeated, it seems harsher and less nice (IMO). I wouldn't have said it that anyway if I had noticed that - usually I read my messages before posting and restrain myself (1) - but I couldn't at the time. That's what I meant. -Shiri (1) what can I do, my posts start out as speech at first. I don't know if it's just me, but I tend to think in english in a certain way... probably because I'm an ESLer (2). I sort of "talk" first and then "listen" to myself when posting on lugnet, because I can't think of too many things in english at once... ;-) (2) You'll notice I sometimes write in different style than americans, or say weird things. I also put way too many dashes in my sentences, so my english teacher says... That's because I just moved to the US this september.

(...) I meant as far as the use of the word "damned", it's not a really nice word to be using, ya know? It could be considered bad launguage by some around here. ~Nathan. (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
