Maybe it is also a difference between UK and US? Since Robbie Williams was using it for himself I figured it couldn't be that minimizing.

- jsmthrowaway 13y agoI'd simply hesitate before basing your understanding of the English language on a song written to air dirty laundry.
- facepalm 13y agoThank you for the clarification and the advice. It's just not practical as a non-native speaker to always be sure about the exact meanings of the words you use. Also, there are by now more non-native speakers of English than native speakers in the world, so perhaps giving some benefit of the doubt is always a good idea.
- jsmthrowaway 13y agoYou can understand how tough that is for a native speaker, though. Thanks for being reasonable about talking about it and being willing to learn!
