I agree completely, but you left out the word, "so," before, "offended."
I describe her based on what she has written about herself, but I was quite proud of my post. It's always good when you can work in the word, "eugenics."

I love words. My word of the day today is, "gracile," a descriptor I'm applying to a character, and inspired by the shoulders and arms of a real woman that I had occasion--or better, privilege--to be close enough to to briefly study. I didn't need a thesaurus. I also love getting to write, "to to," possibly even more than "that that." I am reminded of the old Winston commercials, then from there to Starkist. Sorry Charlene. Of course, there's Charlie, but I prefer women who eschew colognes, and bathe with fragrance free soaps. My mind flies to Georgie Girl, but then there is The Man, and I'm not talking Stan, but George, and it isn't Bill, but George, not Bush, but Clinton. I'm lovin' the funk. I said a mouthfull. Poor, poor, John.
