I think the issue with issues is that what is a problem for one is a botheration for another. Your predicament is my quandary. I have no count with trouble but disputes and dilemmas quickly become a headache. What causes a real mess is what you open a can of worms over a minor pickle, this often leads to a dispute.
Overall I consider this worriment over a disputed point to be fatuous, vacuous, and mildly frivolous.

HNSB has it. "Problem" has the uncomfortable connotation that the person who has it ought to be able to solve it himself. Or at least, learn to live with it. It is much better to have an "issue" because that means somebody else needs to take care of it.
Of course, if one has "demons," that's the best deal of all. Nobody can do anything about them except commiserate and make excuses, and they can come back whenever the possessor of the "demons" allows it.
Yup. By saying "There is an ISSUE here that needs to be resolved!", the complainant is saying that we need to call a meeting of the E-board, call out the fire dept. and get the Mods involved. It's another way of saying "this goes way beyond my own personal problem".Originally Posted by Bent Ramrod

The way I see it,is that an issue is simply an issue that has not yet evolved into a problem.Hopefully "nipping the issue in the bud" before it is a problem.Attachment 94209

Having a PROBLEM suggests some one or thing caused you trouble.
Having an ISSUE suggests you might have contributed to the trouble you are facing.
Calling your problems and issues OPPORTUNITIES is the latest way I have heard troubles labeled.

It's code for " I'm too stupid to figure it out on my own, and don't want to be held accountable for the outcome when somebody else fixes it for me."

I really do have an Issue with Beekeeper not showing up to the silhouette matches though....
Hey I come and watch ever so often.
Just don't shoot match.
Made a promise 50 + years ago to never again shoot match and have stuck with it.
Is that an issue or a problem?

Actually that's a problem issue.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Not to be confused with dill lemon, a pickled fruit.....
It's like using "I feel" instead of "I think"... It takes responsibility off of the speaker.
Uh oh, this is a trap. Beekeeper has us all learning to talk like women!
Being issued with a Parking Ticket can be an issue.Especialy when the issuer has been hiding round the corner to trap you.
