And she will experience no repercussions. Yet if you had said to her what she said to you, she'd be accusing you of creating a "hostile workplace." And your due process would fly out the door.

Such useful and evocative words.Every language adapts words from other languages, sometimes changing the pronunciation, sometimes not. Do you e.g. think "kindergarten" is of English origin?
