HelpRe: This (m)
in reply to a message by mirfak
This is a very polite and hopeful take on people's comments, haha.
My interpretation is that "It makes me think" and "It is true that" are not very different in cases like these. Also, I have never interpreted someone using the word illiterate to mean anything other than stupid (unless they were, ya know, discussing actual literacy within a population). Of course if someone actually did directly say "this is a stupid name for stupid people", it would be easy to brush off because it's so broad it's funny!
I understand some people wouldn't care about such phrasing, and that's great. I just think it's, idk, generally uncool to use words like "trashy" or "illiterate" in response to a letter change when someone just said below it's her son's name. Guess I'm a softy.
