Words are more disrespectful considering how they are used. Times continue to change and language evolves. Yes I agree, there are ways of speaking and words that can be disrespectful given the person, subject, the way they are used, etc.
IMO, "dude" is hardly disrespectful but I can see it is yet another thing that bothers you ET.
I guess what I'm trying to say is whatever dude, I'm just going to pull the trigger here and say that I'm not feelin' you on this one...

Beware of the "know it all syndrome". Sometimes a person's biggest challenge to overcome can be a complacent, over-confident, arrogant, expert-attitude and mentality that can develop under the surface of "lofty" credentials and years of service in a specific area. Don't let it be you.
The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.

Is that a "feature" or a "bug"? 
I realize it's fashionable to whine about the inadequacy of the C5's headlights, but is it really a problem out back too? Given that we drive around in cars that put us eyeball-level with other people's taillights, you'd think we'd have just a bit of sensitivity to how annoying and distracting overly bright taillights can be.
