an insult to another person would only be an insult if the other person took it AS such. An intended offense requires malice on the part of the person making such offense. if none can be found, then the offense rests entirely with the offended party, and not with the supposed offendor.

No, because it has been discovered I doubt even you would answer that and the fact the rest are away would help your side of this arguement.
Note: Can someone translate?
I THINK he was saying that i wasn't insulting you...
indeed it is the messenger and the reciever in question, not the message itself. cultural differences sometimes breed misunderstanding, but in those differences, we find commonality. In this case, "aussie" is comparable to "yank." thoughts?

it is just a matter of understanding where each of you is "coming from." nes pa? In Digger's experience, an american using such slang MIGHT be considered rude, then again, it could also be considered familiar, possibly friendly. It all depends on who you're speaking to and their personal experience.

yes let's not offend the sheep. I'm only saying that what passes for appropriate varies from person to person, and with 7 billion + people in the world, there's a lot of room for misinterpretation
