I don't like to hear cursing either. Aza, can you tell your boss the next time he says that, Yes, Let's do lunch! lol Hey January, isn't "you've got" also a grammar trigger??? Ok, nobody mind me, we're all "just" ranting, right?
I hope that everyone who becomes irked at the "I understand" would be able to read it at PC and realize that it is a viable phrase? Maybe by affirming that it's ok "for PC" would help it not cause reactions IRL.
And that's the point of the thread, isn't it? To bring to our own attention the words/phrases that push our buttons, so we can lessen their negative affect?
