On 2012 Good Friday:

You're welcome . For that usage of "assumption" in English, I'd say "suposición" in Spanish. "asunción" is more the religious connotation of "assumption". [...]

[...]
Bad interpretation of Google (and me for using it lol). I thought something was weird, and that there had to be a better word than "asunción".
[...]
Y hablando de la asunción, ¡Feliz Semana Santa!
[And talking about assumption, happy Holy Week!]

¿"Feliz"? ¡Se muere Jesucristo hoy!
"Happy"? Christ dies today!

Or being able to move that one jaw muscle whose name escapes me now voluntarily. The one that's supposed to reduce chewing noises.

It's name escapes you voluntarily? I've got a memory with a mind of its own too. XD

I'm afraid you're mistaking the reaction you're getting. It's not outrage, it's dismay, like when an elderly relative embarrasses himself.

<pthag> the Creation story is god sorting through and separating things
<pthag> and the Flood is God washing up the world

And you'll probably be fine...

We have somehow gotten a reputation for being cruel to people here, and people show up expecting to be bullied for not knowing linguistics. Which doesn't actually happen.

What happens is someone shows up, makes their introduction, and meets friendly welcomes. It's when they start barking "Praise only, please! Don't tell me my idea has been done! Ain't I something!! You should run your forum differently! By the way here's some ignorant-as-shit opinions about your personal lives (cough cough Chagen cough). And then when they get chased off for being insufferable as human beings, they tell themselves (and other communities, it seems) that they were chased out of here by a bunch of Elitists for not knowing the IPA chart, or something.

Charlot > I believe I speak in the name of every person on this board when I kindly inquire if it would eventually be among your capabilities to perhaps significantly tone down the amount of verbal expression which you are very generously providing us with, for our personal limitations, which are to be blamed on the mainly non-regal origin of our blood, bear the consequence that we can only take so much at a time.
