Nitpicking but why understatement? Feeling betrayed sounds more serious that just pissed off.

Nitpicking but why understatement? Feeling betrayed sounds more serious that just pissed off.
- dhimes 13y agoJust semantics- 'feeling betrayed' is passive; 'are pissed off' is active. Probable reality- the betrayal has pissed them off.
- s_q_b 13y agoThe actual words I wanted to use wouldn't be appropriate in daily conversation. The most accurate substitutes would be incensed, enraged, livid. "Feeling betrayed" implies skulking about with a sad expression. In reality, from what I hear, I imagine it's more like senior NIST officials roaming the halls at Fort Meade looking for somebody at whom to scream strings of obscenities.
