Dear teachers:

I like the show "Friends", and I'd like to know what the meaning of "That's

fine by me.". It seems to be used when people is angry,doesn't it?Is that

rude? Thanks for your help.

Best Wishes,
Roye

It really means, " I think that's OK," or "No problems." It's not rude.

However in the show someone may be using it sarcastically, to suggest that

the other person is being unreasonable.
