Drew, there is no need to be offended.
The fake over-politeness of British English is famous everywhere. I live and have lived in London for 11 years and I still see threads of Email going through and forth with clients because, for the sake of being polite, it's almost impossible to directly criticise something.
I am not like that. I don't hide behind fake politeness. When I have something to say, I just say it directly and in the most understandable way.

That's what I meant. And it wasn't an attack to the Brits. It's a simple consideration on language.

(I didn't make the meme I am attaching, it's been on the Internet forever. I think it explains my point of view)

Well I do find the comment rude and initially offensive as a immediate reaction but am not brittle enough to cry about it or dwell on it.

Is why I asked is it wrong of me to be offended? Genuinely

There are far too many people online who are all too eager to feel offended at a slight in fact am sure they search hoping for something to take offence to and want everybody else to read about how hurt they are. That's not me.

See it as it is now, but still a bit rude-ish.

Anyway have taken us waaaaaay off topic to which I am none the wiser.
