Ms. Sue, I feel your respond was very rude and uncalled for. Although you may be right about You're Welcome not understanding that mean of the word contemplating, the tone of your response sounds almost condescending. You could have respectfully and kindly corrected him/her without insulting You're Welcome. Teachers are supposed to help their students feel empowered and confident while they're learning, not tear them down due to their lack of knowledge. If you don't know how to tactfully correct a someone when they misspeak or fail to understand something, then maybe you need to take some time to reflect on why you're on the website.
