--- Quote from: jwilliams on 10 Mar 2015, 18:50 ---RF - Serious, albeit off topic question on language. I've often heard (and used) expressions like, "Hey, it's not my place to say if they should be doing X." Or many variations on that theme. To me, that sort of expression is pretty neutral, as opposed to the (clearly offensive) language of saying, "He needs to know his place," or, "I'm going to put her in her place." I take it that you don't hear a difference between the different contexts?
I'm genuinely curious, given that the use of specific language is crucial in my profession, and I honestly hope not to offend a significant number of people with an expression (e.g. It's not my/your/his place to say...) I've always heard in a neutral way.

It's not my place to say is an idiom (and usually followed by but I will anyway); it's not someone else's place to say is confrontative.

Dora occasionally gets overzealous with the butt-grabbing, so she started wearing extra padding.
CaptainFish:
The QC characters need to be careful with all the greeting card-itis that's going around. One of these days they'll get stuck that way.

That resolved itself pretty quickly. Marten's distress at not knowing CoD had a secret menu remains the biggest point of contention between a couple to date...alright, alright, exaggeration. But yeah, that was fast.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether the lesson sticks with both of them. Tai's still got a bit of that college mindset, as TRVA123 put it, and Dora has promised to be more open before. If we could grow up, give up our bad habits, and change ourselves in a fingersnap, a lot of professionals would be out of a job.

I do think that Tai is immature. I don't remember how old Tai is in relation to the cast, but she acts much younger. I mean, she is still in that "college" mindset, and in the context of college her behavior makes sense. Idk, I do find her childish and some of her behavior is grating, but I don't think she is a bad person or anything. She just has a lot of living to do.
I kind of see a parent/child dynamic between Dora and Tai. Dora acts maternal to everyone (which doesn't exactly help her control issues) and Tai acts childish. The dynamic creeps me out.

I've always got that impression too, though I think TheEvilDog makes a good point about how that kind of suits both characters.
