'pacific' instead of 'specific'!!

How the hell do I correct her without coming across as a pedantic moron and not hurt her over emotional and highly dramatic feelings??

Tough call but this clear abuse of English is not acceptable!

it's a natural mistake to make, when speaking to you she's mentally picturing how much distance she wants between the pair of you. Most of us here can understand this:evil:

Can be very funny as well, we have a young foreign student who worked with us, and we hadn't had a paediatric clinic for a few weeks

Sat in the Staff Room she turned to me and asked:

"When are we going to have children?"

Half the staff room lost their coffee / lunch!

One embarrassed student when we explained why it was funny.
