Re: It's bad phrasing either way Camilla Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 10:33:27 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.


Yes, I realised that that was what he meant, but it wasn't what he said.

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
