An inoffensive word for “stupid”? @nico They did in the comments of the question, "silly" works well too I suppose. |

An inoffensive word for “stupid”? @nico Naive having or showing a lack of experience, judgment. That seems to be what the OP is looking for. |

An inoffensive word for “stupid”? I agree that they could be used in a casual/flirtatious conversation, however the OP seems to be looking specifically for a way to tell the person they are stupid. Considering from the comments that the "stupid" person in question is already showing a lack of understanding of social conventions, they may not get the implication. If you add something like naive to your answer I would be more than happy to switch my vote. :) |

An inoffensive word for “stupid”? None of these mean stupid, or even close to it... |

Can itself be used for a group of people? @FumbleFingers Pardon me, the next time I need some help with grammar I will defer to J.K. Rowling. You've convinced me. Bravo. SMH |

Can itself be used for a group of people? @FumbleFingers I guess you don't understand what I am trying to say. I am just saying that if you are going to try to learn proper grammar, don't go to a children's book for it. Every author breaks certain rules, and has small intricacies that make their writing style unique. It's part of what makes them great authors but if you're looking for a concrete example of how the "rules of grammar" should be applied to a given situation, don't look at a children's novel. |

Can itself be used for a group of people? Not to take away from the Harry Potter books, but I would not use them as a reference for grammatical prowess. |

Meaning of “beaten to the punch”? @JasperLoy to be fair Google customizes searches, so maybe Roflcoptr searches for egg recipes and fruit drinks a lot. |

Straight quotes vs. curly quotes in formal writing ^ What he said...also @JAM you should just make that an answer. |

What is the Tacoma Narrows bridge doing in this picture? @mgb Edited to reflect the roll of flutter, though resonance still played its part (the best explanation is actually a combination of the two). |

What is the Tacoma Narrows bridge doing in this picture? @ArchJ Aeroelastic fluttering and resonance oscillation go hand in hand usually. They aren't normally disjoint occurrences. |

What is the Tacoma Narrows bridge doing in this picture? @LarsH I agree, however in this case fluffy is correct, they have the same meaning. In fact contortion defaults to contorted in many online dictionarys. |
