I dont have much confidence this post will lead to clarity, or help much, but that is the intention.

You'll be invoking Godwin's Law next or worrying about the children

But more to the point:

I just find the "worse things happens" something you can always say

I find it to be a phrase some people use to imply they don't think it is a "big deal". Not one that literally means, because it's not THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVAH, that the issue at hand is utterly irrelevant. But then I'm all about shades and not the absolutes

Even with a lingua franca misunderstandings occur. Imagine if we were all trying to do it in Welsh

steady on now,I have some limits

to imply they don't think it is a "big deal"

Reasonable point and I shall interpret it as such going fwd
