    yea the hateful and spiteful are the ones that push the bill on things.

    for your friend, i have had this exact experience. i just went “hey friend, that word has some history that makes it hurtful to some people, just a heads up since the way you used it sounded like you maybe weren’t aware”

    and it went over pretty well :) kind people rock

      Good to hear :)

      That reminds me I think it was a slip, cuz I mentioned it years ago and didn’t hear it for over a year - I’m fine to remind again if I need to! Thanks :)
