Order, please. I had to get a bit of help because my French is not that good with the subtleties. The help that I received, which is beyond reproach, is of course that there are subtleties in the language. The use of that particular term could be received by the receiver as being bad but it is not necessarily bad. It depends on the thickness of the skin of the person on the receiving end. Really it is more a question of debate than a point of order.
