When I mentioned this to my sister (also a retired teacher/administrator), she didn't understand why this response would be bothersome.
Language (much like beauty and eyes) is in the ears of the listener.

Clarifying
My post yesterday about phrases that hurt my ears was because of grammatical errors. I thought it was interesting that one of my fellow retired teacher bloggers had a different take. Her irritation was with a kind of response given to a standard phrase. Not really because of grammar, but because of tone or meaning.

I guess so. No worries.
I was mortified when I realized there was a blaring grammatical error (I was very distracted while writing it) in my post about toy rotations. You had already read it by the time I changed it. How embarrassing! I'm sure it isn't the only one you've caught. Thank you for not complaining about them in the comment section.
