It's bad phrasing either way Lupine Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 02:16:36 AM
I can see the difference between "amazing" and "impressive" in a number of ways, but any way I view this it is still an insult.

But I think what he meant is that she's an impressive/amazing girl - that she must be, because the brother has such high standards. Not that she isn't and hence it's "amazing" (something to be amazed by) that he would consider her.

To be honest, even that doesn't strike me as much of a compliment. Legolas - 27/02/2010 11:15:14 AM 443 Views
Nah, she has been family for the last year and actually she really is amazing. In this case that is Tashmere - 27/02/2010 11:54:06 AM 450 Views
