depends on how i am irked:

1) Quote "you're writing is too small"
2) Quote "stupid"

1): i don't think i write small. it's about the size of the default font on Microsoft Word (12) -- that small? only my family members tell me that, but other than that, everyone's silent. maybe they don't wish to offend me? well, i'll take honesty better than someone telling me i write too small.
2): i don't always get mad over that word if it's used in a joke or a more similar word is used (dimuntive).

...lastly, i always find my peace again with amnesty.
