“Hate” is too strong in the post. OK. And you would write “with a different feel” instead of “hate”.
How would you put “with a different feel” in the sentences?
“They are with a different feel getting their hands greasy.” Is this right?
girigiri wasn't very clear in his explanation. "With a different feel" is referring to his perception that using "hate" to describe the reaction to beignets is too strong of a word. Instead, "dislike" would work better in describing the reaction: if a person hates something, they most likely don't want it anywhere near them. Disliking something could mean you don't like something, but you're willing to tolerate it being nearby.

I didn’t know my writing had a chatty style. I intended to write politely. I seem to have failed.
A chatty writing style can be polite as well. I have no problems with your writing style, Yuri.


Fortunately, there is one woman in this world who can control me.

Unfortunately for you, she is not here.
