Help[Opinions] Re: Eireann (pron. Erin)
in reply to a message by Vermilion27
Hmm. My mum always says that if you have to start by saying, "I mean no offense", you're probably going to say something offensive. I know you didn't mean it that way, but that's certainly how it came out.
Also, it's pretty rude to ask "what's wrong with" someone just because of their naming choice. I don't agree with my friend's sister's choice of a name either, but I wouldn't dream of suggesting that there was something "wrong" with her. Crikey, I've never even met her! Worse is to suggest that there is something wrong with my friend. I'm going to assume that you just didn't read carefully or mistyped or something.
Besides, asking "what is wrong with your friend?" puts me in a situation of having to defend or back up my friend. I don't have to do that, so I won't. I just hope that you'll be a little more carefull with your wording next time.
