There is no offence. This really concerns the finer nuances of a word and 
therefore is of little concern to non-native English speakers.

I have a a stock of phrases to completely confuse foreigners about the state 
of British brains. This one even had the English foxed at the Hove AGM, but 
not a Welshman at Birmingham:

"In Bristol they call them Cardiffs".

Best Wishes,
