So, I realized that I ought to put this out here. Because I have this problem everywhere I go...
I am horrible at wording things when I talk OOC. And I tend to come off as being someone I'm not. I promise I'm not a rude or mean person. But sometimes I say something... and suddenly one of my friends or someone I don't even know gets very insulted. And then I spend the next hour trying to get my foot back out of my mouth. So, 90% of the time, when I come off as rude without using insulting words or obviously derogatory terms... I don't mean to be rude.
Trust me... I even upset my little sister when I talk to her. She says something that isn't correct, I correct her, and suddenly she's on the defensive when I was just trying to put in my two cents. If I have unintentionally insulted anyone... I apologize. It's not a fun problem for me to have... because I'm already really socially awkward... and not being able to express what I mean with my words only hurts me more.
Sorry for even bugging everyone with this post... I just figured I should put it out here... so people know.

*pats* Sounds like a familiar problem, actually.
I didn't realize this was a trend.
... We should start a club.

I don't know if I should be glad I'm not alone in this... or feel sad that other people have the same problem as me. So, I'm just going to do both.
What would we call our club?

The Unintentionally Offensive Writers Club?
UOWC! That's the almost the same letters as the OWCA! (Organization Without a Cool Acronym.)

I do even worse when speaking than when writing, though.
Works for me! We could even make a group or something here on RPR. To talk, I guess. I dunno. What would we do in our club?

I do equally bad both in speaking and writing.
I don't think a formal group or club is really necessary. 
I don't either. I don't know what we'd do with a club like that.
I was kinda joking about the club, haha.
How about I just send you a friend request instead?

That works for me. 
I like making new friends.

Yay!(You wanna RP?)
(Sure. I have to go to bed soon, but if you PM me with an idea or something, I'll get back to you tomorrow.
