Me (14y male from Poland) got my english teacher annoyed/disappointed after saying the word “crap”. I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask this question but is saying that word considered bad? I always thought it was pretty mild and not a big deal.

It was like this. I made a mistake in an excersize and said “oh crap”. Although you are right not to say that to a teacher, but saying it the way I did should be fine, right?

It’s a little extreme but not unheard of for folks to be upset with, especially in classroom settings.

Knowing that English is a second language for you, she’s probably trying to help you!

Maybe assume that your English teacher knows a bit more about the language and how and when to use it than you.
