R45 is a cunt and is most likely the type of poster who goes on a tirade when being called out by the grammar police. She's an entitled twat.

It has nothing to do with being OCD, you moron. As I said, it was a paltry 40-something posts. Not bothering to take a measly few seconds to check a thread is nothing but laziness. Who needs to keep seeing the same thing being posted repeatedly?

I have never experienced such an aversion to the phrase "passed away" anywhere else except DL, though now any time I hear it used I get annoyed.

Also this isn't a euphemism for death, but when people say "Rest easy" instead of "rest in peace", I just wonder why...
