Help[Opinions] Re: Posy / Posie
in reply to a message by Perrine
Posey isn't even an actual flower; it's more like naming a kid Bouquet or Tussie-Mussie or maybe Corsage.
It's definitely babyish. I don't know that it ever got much use, especially not on its own.
If I was at gunpoint and had to use it I'd spell it Poussey like the Orange is the New Black character. lol
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I already knew you hated it, you are one of the most vocal on here with your disgust for the name! :) And I’m totally ok with that, it’s your opinion and that’s fine. Posy is a word name related to flowers, not the name of an actual flower obviously, but I like that. I like that it’s not directly related to just one type of flower. To each their own.

Posy (this is the spelling of the word) is a bunch of flowers. Yes, I know it's not a flower, it's an English vocabulary word that makes people think of flowers. It's, in my opinion, more like Blossom or Bloom or Petal which work as names.
That is your opinion and I respect it, but you need to respect other people's opinions as well. To me it's not babyish.

Don't tell me I "need to respect" other people's (meaning your) opinion. It's got nothing to do with respect. My opinion happens to be directly opposite yours, but that doesn't mean I "don't respect" you or your right to hold your opinion.

Yes and that is fine. But you replied to me, not the original poster.
So when I write "It's not babyish" it is my opinion directed to the OP who asked for opinions. And when you then just reply to me and write "It's definitely babyish" I feel like you are not accepting the fact that I don't find it babyish. If you had written it as a reply to the OP I wouldn't have had a problem with it but you wrote it as a reply to me as if you didn't respect what I wrote.

I thought I was replying to the OP. I hadn't read your post and still haven't. I don't know what happened to make it look like I replied to you, because I didn't.

Okay, then I understand, no problem.
