I like watching anime with her and the sub/dub issue interferes with our fun sometimes (hence my desire for dubs to improve).

So it wasn't an insult so much as an explanation on why some people prefer dubs.
Apologies if it sounded that way
They don't really have a choice. The DVD format places quite a few limitations on subtitles.
