Hi, guys.
I was reading through this thread and saw the "semantic" turn it took.
Yeah, a** is probably a correct term to describe stubborness. I don't think anyone would dispute you on this. I just think that the use of the word a** has become more like vulgar slang and really could offend someone.
Please don't take offense at Dr. Bob's post. You probably didn't -- but the tone of your e-mail suggests you might have. I'm sure it was just a gentle reminder.
We can be technically correct and polite at the same time.
