A big thank you to Motek for renaming "How short are your skirts?" to "How long are your skirts?" See the difference? One little word--yet the first is offensive to many, and the second is a neutral request for information.
Why? Because the question as originally phrased implies at the outset that the reader's skirt is short. It's like asking "have you stopped beating your wife?"

You're welcome.
I changed it with a bit of trepidation. Posters (including myself) don't like their words edited. However, I thought that it sounded more aidel.

I got no issue with what moderators change to make something nicer or more appropriate or whatever. Moderators are there to make people happy and to make a message board a nicer place.
Thank you for doing a good job!

I don't see why the affront....how short is short?
Obviously shorter than a certainlength is not sancctioned by halalcha; what Jewish woman or girl would go that way?
When I wear a knee length skirt, I call that "short".
