    In future you can prevent needlessly calling people assholes by using the pronoun “one”. It is a way of speaking that addresses people in a broader sense, without specifically targeting any particular individual. It is often used to discuss general truths, common experiences, or provide advice or instructions. I offer tutoring.

    You know, an even better way to avoid that situation is just to not call people assholes in veiled insults. This was your opportunity to apologize. I’m blocking you.

    • I don’t appreciate your “holier than thou” attitude and your insistence on ignoring how English is commonly used in order to label me an asshole. Good riddance, “jerkface.” (Thats me using your name, not calling you one.)
