The question wasn't about the WORD, "fine"...

...but the PHRASE, "is fine". Here are some varations on it:

- "Whaddayamean, Grelzakianism 'is fine'?"

- "Well, Grelzakianism is fine with me!"

- "Grelzakianism might 'be fine' where *you* live... But not here."

- "What, is Grelzakianism not fine in Finland?!?"

- "That's funny; Grelzakianism is perfectly fine in the USA."

So, you're saying the prase "is fine" in this fictional conversation is NOT about how "Grelzakianism" (whatever the fuck that may be; say, a policy) is regarded?!?

And here *I* had been reasonably... Well, let's say, satisfied -- with *your* grasp of English. But now I see that *my* impression may have been somewhat exaggerated.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
