- mmahemoff 14y agoactually_i_do_mind is a tad confrontational. If I might suggest: would_you_mind { // Code here } sorry_im_afraid_that_might_present_something_of_a_challenge_right_now (Exception £e) { // Politely move on cheerio('Message'); }
- jiggy2011 14y agoFunnily enough, I remember back in the days of Windows 95 when many older (british) people were first getting to grips with computers I helped a few of these people on occasion with various problems. A common complaint I actually heard was about how you could tell that the computer was american because of how blunt and "rude" the error messages were and why weren't computer sold in Britain better mannered?
- mbesto 14y agoBetter if it was would_you_mind { // Code here } i_cant_be_asked (Exception £e) { // Politely move on cheerio('Message'); }
- JonnieCache 14y agoI think you may have been mishearing http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/arsed http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/arsed
- radiowave 14y agoYes. I've heard a few stories of foreigners getting that wrong when working in the UK. Suffice it to say that, "I can't be arsed" is not a great thing to say to your boss.
- dutchbrit 14y agoInstead of using sorry_im_afraid_that_might_present_something, maybe this'd be better: what_the_devil_are_you_talking_about
- gadders 14y agoI also think Alert('xxx') should be replaced with Sorry('xxx')
- nicktelford 14y agoEveryone seems to have missed the most natural form for us Brits: would_you_mind { // Code here } im_afraid_so (Exception £e) { // Politely move on cheerio('Message'); }
