The Death of Are

I think this has gone far enough TBH. Do you think it's acceptable to keep 'chucking' out insults ? I don't dislike you but you appear to have some kind of blind spot (we all have to some degree).

If I walked into a bar where you lived and called you a 'red neck'.... would you just smile and say, I know you didn't mean anything by it, you're from  little 'old' England and you just mean to say I got myself a red neck, right ?  (Too much sun, John Bull)

No, I don't think you would, you might well (attempt to anyway)  knock me through the swing doors and I would deserve it. Don't you think it might have been smarter just to say something like ...okay I used the wrong word and leave it at that ?

I noticed that you have a real problem on the forum with people who try to use language in an exact way. And when they  try to further define why they have used words in that way, you become increasingly frustrated because they fail to adhere to your idea of how language should be used. It's a pattern.
