It definitely seemed like you were putting me down. Why is there anything wrong with defending people from blanket generalizations? Also, my goal was not to insult you, but rather point out what I interpreted as condescension. </p>
<p>My next questions is: have you talked to this girl? Not just in passing, but a real conversation? I bet she would surprise you.</p>
<p>I say this because I am friends with a girl who is most likely a genius. Nominated for THE presidential scholarship, perfect test scores, great musician, great personal qualities, and more. Teachers love her, and I have had several very interesting conversation that were the opposite of shallow. However, she uses like in many of her sentences. It just how she talks. So what?</p>
