Re^12: To help not to misguide

I'm not a native speaker and really have to think what and how I write. And I find a 'XY is wrong.' much easier to understand than a substitution that's intended to not hurt somebody's feelings. 'You are wrong' is a simple and clear expression, that of course should be followed by an explanation of What and Why.

If a questioner has problems with being told that (s)he is wrong, I don't see that as a problem of the answerer.

No, I'm pretty good at reading english. But sometimes have problems to formulate what I want to write, so that people understand what I mean. I'll therefore take the freedom to make direct statements like "You are wrong" if I think a person "is wrong." :) Ordinary morality is for ordinary people. -- Aleister Crowley	[reply]
