It's not a good feeling when you find something "simple" to be hard. Few tasks are easy when you're a new programmer still wrapping your head around conditionals.

If my docs might be used by a new programmer I try to avoid alienating my users with the word simple.

The real question and a better post than the original post would be: Are people living in the 21st Century too easily offended?

But it's a rhetorical question...

Yeah, maybe not being offended just because of the word "simple" would be a good start.

I didn't use the word offended.

Feeling offended is a very different emotion than feeling alienated.
