So, I guess for you, it was a bad word.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: Is "anal" a bad word?

according to Urban dictionary...




to be really up tight
to pay excessive attention to detail
to be a total tight-ass
to over explain or define something



which is probably what the op was asking about....

He's not a process engineer. They don't have self-esteem problems and need to hang their degree on the wall.
