Neither do I. I find it childish, condescending, and that it actually hampers good communication for both those reasons.<br /><br />So, what you hear me saying is there should be an acceptance of words meaning just what they mean and nothing else, including "Go eff yourself." That's right.<br /><br />Except, of course,, 10 days ago when what I heard was, "I may love you, but I don't like you or think that much of you as a person." That was sweet.
