Well, as an American, I’m often told by friends in the UK, and multi-lingual Europeans, that my English is atrocious :-)
Not so sure one should place a high value on info from Patrick Bateman ;-)

That seems like snobbery to me. Your posts are well readable and more people should realise that there’s quite a sizable difference between British English and American English.
Oh, definitely not. I just thought it was an interesting tidbit since this was completely omitted in the movie scene. Didn’t really think that the vain yuppie psycho killer would recommend a shaving brush - then again, it’s set in the 80s where brush use was far more common. Also, no offense meant since I am also guilty of this: the way we describe our routines in wetshaving down to the smallest detail is very akin to Patrick Bateman’s inner monologue - at least the one in the book.

Honestly, these insults are generally good natured. Many people in my generation aren’t particularly emotionally sensitive, and some of us don’t mind a bit of banter.

Oh, I understand. There’s been worse said to me and said by me to others during friendly banter. Just wanted to remark that I genuinely find your posts and comments well-written and can’t imagine your spoken word to be worse. Simple text-based communication is not that well suited to convey such hidden compliments. No ill intent towards your friends from my side ✌🏻
