Nobody wants to hear that you will try your best. It is the wrong thing to say. It is like saying 'I probably won't hit you with a shovel.' Suddenly everyone is afraid you will do the opposite.

You'd think that sweet would be a land far, far away from irritating, but as it turns out they're right next door, and always having border disputes.

With a library it is easier to hope for serendipity than to look for a precise answer.
