I just had the depressing experience of trying to correct an adult who did not know the meaning of noun, verb, and conjugation, without sounding snotty. What the Hell do they teach people in schools, if adults don't know the difference between a noun and a verb?

Re: You performed a public service

To be fair, this person did not show any arrogance or snottiness. But neither did he seem to feel that he was missing something. I let the matter drop, so you can't really say I performed a service to anyone.

Apart from anything else, I am scared of my own temper.
