Hi. I know we don’t see each other often, but I’ve been seeing you a lot lately. And really, I’ve enjoyed it. It’s just…
When I ask you for help at the train station, it’s probably because I’m not entirely sure if I’m getting on the right train and I’d prefer not to end up in the middle of nowhere. If you would be so kind as to not direct me the wrong way or to tell me you’re unsure, I’d really appreciate it. I know I’m only a stupid American, but this is your chance yo show me how much smarter you are than me. Telling me the wrong train might be funny but it wastes a lot of my time.
And while we’re here talking, when I speak to you in English and you act like you don’t speak any, then I hear you two minutes later on the phone talking with an English vocabulary larger than mine, well… I think you see where I’m going here. It just makes you look like a jerk. That’s all.
Thanks for listening. And thanks to the few of you who send me the right way. It’s much appreciated.
