[Opinions] oh, Ella ...
in reply to a message by Sparrow
It just doesn't work very well. It reminds me of once when I was talking to a woman who had a daughter named Justina. The first time she said the name, I thought, genuinely, that she was saying "Just Tina" like her daughter's name was Tina and she was telling me, without having been asked, that it was "just Tina" and not short for anything.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
