Words
Recently I was not happy and I sent an email to people on my small group's list which might not have been the brightest thing about my predicament of what I came across when I got home. I only used one borderline word. Unfortunately I ticked one person off, which I felt bad about. However considering what I have would done a year and a half ago, it is an improvement. For I know some people would have been truly offended if I would have used the words I truly wanted to use, however some people getting offended, even if it really does not bother me.I however figured that it went along with what the teaching was last night at small group Sure I was angry, however pissy is not a bad word in my book, not the nicest word though. The email also contained piece of crap, blasted stupid and frikken. I don't see frikken as the equivalent to something else. That was not my intention by the way. Maybe I should have spelled it friggin. However, one person was not thrilled that I sent this email and told me she saw frikken to something else, which was not my intention. I meant for it to come as across as something that began with d, w/o offending anyone who might be offended w/what I wanted to say, to express how ticked I was.. Oh well, I sent her an email telling her I was sorry for offending her. She saw frikken as something else, when it is just a word that could easily substitue something else, not what she was thinking.
By the way when it comes to accomodating my friends, I know there are terms more easily seen as swear words so I won't send vast emails with just how I felt, because I do not desire to offend friends, even though I have no problem with hearing them. I however don't know why telling how you feel and being rather blunt w/o being obscene is seen as offensive.
