Girl I deal with keeps saying

[biggs682]

man thats hell of an ocean to deal with

 

[rich p]

'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??

!

Oi, Greedo, not so much of the pedantic!

As to the dilemma, I have an ocean if you criticise her she'll be tongue tide

Surfs her right! Although a dismissive wave would put cold water on it.

I would'nt correct her. It's a minor thing and you risk coming across as a pedantic so and so. I have a colleague who always says ANOB instead of the correct acronym AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Wouldn't dream of saying anything - in fact it's quite charming in a way!

I don't wish to labour the point but Greedo's worried about appearing as a pedantic moron, not a so and so

I knew someone who was really into Mitsubishi cars, or as he pronounced Mitsibushi.

He'd go on a rant saying stuff like: I love my Mitsibushis! I've owned a Mitsibushi ever since I was a teen! Never drive or owned anything other than a Mitsibushi. Owned a Mitsibushi for nearly 20 years now. Best car in the world is the Mitsibushi...

How often do you say Specific in a day!

She may well be referring you to the new HBO miniseries "Pacific", co-produced by Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks's "Playtone" production companies. Highly recommended. Well done her!
