fayroe,
You wrote,[...request/demand...what is the difference?...].
Ther is a distinct difference between the two. A demand has the import that there will be a mandatory requirerment to do something , or else a consequence will happen to those that do not do the demand, but a request is an optional action to perform, with no consequences as a result of not complying.
In the posts here where I request clarification from a poster, ther is no consequence to not reply. In your post in question here to me, I requested that you clarify the word {anal} in your post that involved me. I consider that a reasonable request, for the word was including me , and clarification , if it came forth, could have the potential to have cleard up any potential misunderstanding,which was my intention for requesting clarification, not to make you feel uncomfortable
