I wonder if some are unaware of these diffs. For someone who never left US "you're wrong" might be construed as personal.
-
it's kind of personal. "that's wrong" is a tiny bit better. But in general I'd avoid myself.
-
"that doesn't seem OK" is acceptable to me but nothing with "wrong" in it imho. Case in point http://2016.pyconuk.org/news/20160919-coc/ …

Calling s.o. terrorist is def behind any line. To me "it's wrong" as a factual statement is OK. But I guess not to all.
-
behind or over? I assume over.
-
You're right: over, as in not OK.
