    Sure, but it’s understandable that there would be a misunderstanding in an interaction like that. Something like “this kind of language is not appropriate here at nasa”, or simply “this is unprofessional”.

      That’s what the first reply was saying. Someone ready to work at NASA would do a cursory Google, or know who Homer Hickam is in the first place lol.

      “Language” was carrying a lot of extra weight.

        When some random person replies to me saying to watch my language the last thing I’m doing is googling them.
