In reshimas hamaaser the Frierdiker Rebbe, when he's sitting on a bench, after going into the wrong hallway, he is thinking about his family. When he thinks about the Rebbe he writes: "If he was not caught chas vesholom" (in hebrew I think it was "ilu loh nitfas becaf Ch"V").
Very interesting how he uses Loh nitfas he was not caught Ch"V. Reminds me of all the rashi's in chumash where 'piv hichshiloh' someone said something against himself. Here the Rebbe didn't want to even say the negative.
Interesting.
[I actually tried saying something to this affect concerning the accident "I could have been here Ch"V" it just doesn't come out right. Or maybe "I could not have been hurt seriously Ch"V"]
