Anyway, like I said, I didn't actually come here to defend her. Like you've said, she doesn't need a friend joining a forum to do that (although, that's a different issue...)

I merely came to correct a wrongly credited tweet. So carry on. Sorry you're offended.

Is it the word you find offensive, or the fact that she tweeted when she was still riled up? Out of curiousity?

I wonder if people would be more understanding of her use of language if she'd said the kids were in the back of the car, perhaps, or made it clear just how close to killing her this woman actually was. 

I imagine in similar positions, you and others would use far harsher words. Perhaps you shouldn't tweet them, but social media has become far too entangled in the human mind these days.

If it is simply the word, can you explain to me, rationally, what is so offensive by it? And why that word, in particular, is causing you such offence?

I think this is just one of those things where people will have to agree to disagree, I guess. Some people are for celebrities being able to tweet whatever the hell they want with no censorship, some think they should be more careful. It's not something that will ever be agreed upon.

I'm glad she's ok.
But it doesn't excuse her using the dreadful term "cadaver" to describe the person.
Sorry, but it's not acceptable and maybe she should have taken time to calm down before taking to twitter - text a friend to let off steam privately, instead?

 
The issue with language is that it's expressive. And people find different things offensive, but as a great man once said, just because you're offended, doesn't make you right. I'm sure people would have been just as offended if she'd said the c word, or any number of other words.

Ok first of all, Amanda has no problem with old people at all but the woman literally nearly killed her.

And secondly, the "I've just had great sex with Martin" tweet was tweeted by a spam account dressed up to look like Amanda's, using a lower case L instead of an I in CHIMPSINSOCKS.
