Re: xxs all the way up to 5x

Oh, my.

I thought the subject was Wordle!

(Which I just read was bought by the NY Times and will "initially" remain free.)

Re: xxs all the way up to 5x

@Helen Bach  Perhaps a better way to state this would be, "Our sizes in this item range from XXS through 5X."

i like the way posters are told what they can be offended about and what they can't. The judgement on the boards is hysterical.

Either way someone would be "offended."  If that's the case the offended individual has the problem.  Maybe not happy with yourself?


Wait, wut? What does this have to do with me?

"all the way up to 5x" does not apply to me, but I do understand the OP's point.  To me it has the connotation of extra big girls are included. Insensitive.  


"Extra big girls" sounds insentive to me.

Re: xxs all the way up to 5x

To me, it's just the host trying to use up time by adding "all the way up to".   Just filler words to use up time. 

 

When they spend 15 min talking about a top, they have to say something to fill time.

I have an issue with the phrase "all the way up to 5x"

Especially if spoken by a person xxs.  Can't they just say xxs to 5x?  Why does it have to be ALL THE WAY UP?

 

. 'All the way up' is used to desribe a large selection of sizes. It's been used in shoe and ring sizes. Stop with the PC nonsence. There is nothing rude or insensitive about it. Jeez.
