Then I gauge their response. If they seem receptive, I pick one thing to advise or correct, and I do so as kindly as I can. Even if you aren't an ESL teacher , second language speakers are frequently receptive to correcting their English because they want to speak as well as they can. Asking first is always a good idea though." tag:blog.languageexpress.com,2010-07-06:3293301 Jerry 2010-07-07T00:56:10Z 2010-07-07T00:56:10Z That's very insightful. Thanks for the advice. I am frequently blunt to a fault, insulting other people. Don't like to be that way, but I also don't like to pander to bad or foolish behavior.
