Beware of convoluted sentences

[heaven_sword]

Those $10 LJ coupons? I'm afraid that sending those to people without them asking me to can be seen as rude - yeah, I did that, before I fully understood what those coupons mean. Really, LJ. It would've been better if you, say, give each of us three $5 coupons, so we can give two months of paid accounts to three fellow users

... but how?

[heaven_sword]

How it can be seen as rude? Because we seem to assume that they want a paid account/have the money to buy one. In short, the rudeness of a one-sided assumption. Or maybe I'm thinking too much.

[februaryfour]

Well, assuming they want a paid account isn't necessarily _rude_, is it? Though I suppose the money thing is a point, but... still, _rude_? T_T It's the thought that counts, right?

[heaven_sword]

Yeah, I guess...like I said, I was thinking too much. *sweatdrop*

I didn't think that sending the coupons to others would be rude. :O

At least you did write a lot for NaNo 2009. :)

[heaven_sword]

Well, seeing as some people are disillusioned with LJ now...but as februaryfour said above, it's the thought that counts.

At least there's NaNo, yeah. And that this time around I do have a story, thought not an ending (yet).
