I was only pointing out a reasonable probability that there was a not-negligible percentage of them who don't share that friend with you.

Latin is even more native to hispanic languages than it's to English, so what may sound difficult in English may as well be domestic there. Not necessarily the case for every word I used, but... I was concerned about being understood, but decided to give the, what's the phrase "benefit of the doubt" (why the definite article? is there only one doubt possible and we're always thinking of exactly the same one?).

And my purpose was to confuse. To maybe make a few think twice what they're saying. As the Christians tend to be so sensitive as to the words used, they even have a list of proscribed words and manage to impose such lists on others (real rectalholes - see, censorship on UT as well), which is all fine (because they also define what is fine and what is not), so that anyone speaking of pretty much anything has to beware not to say anything that would touch their sensitivity. Well, others are sensitive too. Me, specially in December, which seems to have come a tad early this year.
