SplitImage, I agree. I think people try to tiptoe around certain words because they think we'll be uncomfortable with it, when really, they are projecting their own discomfort.
I personally hate when people say, "When your dad passed away..." Passed where? No, he died. And then there's, "When you lost your dad..." Lost? So if I look around the house will I find him? No. And some people think I'm being harsh when I answer like that, but I'm just being real. It's kind of humorous in a way, and I know my dad would find my explanation for this absolutely hilarious because that was his sense of humor, too.
