Nogrod, perhaps the reason you come across as brash or rude sometimes is that most of us are putting a great deal of effort into our phrasing, making sure every word means exactly what we do, and cannot be misconstrued. While you, on the other hand, are putting a great deal of effort into speaking in English. When we're all being so careful, you come across as very...(searching for a word) unsubtle in comparison, and more aggressive than I'm sure you intend.
