Change naive to beginner in all your writing. Naive brings a negative connotation with it always (unless you truly intend to insult the other person).
And you could just drop "fortunately for you" since it adds nothing to the statement and technically takes longer to write than just dropping it.
- zahlman 2y agoI feel like "beginner" is at least as insulting, especially if it turns out not to be accurate. But the point is well taken - I tend to overthink this instead of just making simple changes.
