Be Offended By the Post Above You

As a grammar Nazi I find your use of the American "offense" and the English "offence" in the same sentence offensive.

Edit: yeah, you don't have a silly American alternative for "offensive" do you Yanks? This is what happens when you fight against our glorious empire!

Well that's offensive.... at least we spell things right and know a bonnet is something that goes on a woman head NOT on the "hood" of a car

People use the term 'Highly' too frequently, so sometimes I complain about it. I try not to take it personally.

Oh, well!

There's nothing quite like arrogance and overestimation of the quality of one's feeling of being offended.

What make you think you're better offended than the rest of us?

Couldn't you just admit to being "averagely" or "run of the mill" offended?

So we have to "try" now, rather than trot out a few platitudes with a couple of links to YouTube videos? Second time someone has broken my "offended" meter on this thread!
