Is the word still bothering you then?

Still bothers me, which I know is probably silly. I would rather hear "he worked so hard to earn that A."
As to curvy, yes, I get that. I am a plus sized woman and have no boobs, so curvy frustrates me as well. As do all the plus sized tops for women with big chests. They look cute, until I put one on and the bodice is at my belly. Not so cute.
Since my father was a paraplegic, I think I am more sensitive to those types of words as well. If anyone dared to say my dad was a cripple, I would have handed them their ass. He may not have been able to walk, but his heart, his mind and his spirit were not crippled and he was the strongest person I have even known.
In light of words like that, it seems silly to have such a dislike for deserve, but I do. Always have. Most likely always will. It may not deserve my dislike, but it has earned it. LOL
