I go through this a lot on the internet and face-to-face. Honestly, I think some people's views of the world may be "narrower" than some others'. It infuriates me and I'm still trying to learn how to cope with it, because I don't believe it can be stopped. To me, it just seems to be how people talk; as if the language itself is designed to promote and enable small-mindedness.

I don't know.

Sorry for the rant.
