I do notice incorrect grammar by people in all industries; however, using perfect grammar does not make a wonderful human being. Always be KIND regardless. At least he is working and trying to provide for his family.

In reply to Patricia. You may be right Patricia. I need to keep those things in mind as well. :-)

In reply to Lahall. I did inadvertently correct him when I told him and the customer how much I liked the Aura paint. Perhaps I need to be more direct (which I'm not always good at in these situations). :-)

Perhaps you should’ve politely corrected him! Just for future reference, if it bothered you that much! I’m sure he would’ve appreciated it!

First want to say that I really enjoy your blog. It’s always full of useful information and I really LOVE seeing your decorating and painting before and afters ! You really do beautiful work ! Also – your Friday 5 + 1 is one of my favorites – I’ve tried a lot of the products that you recommend there, and read a lot of the books you review. So thank you for a great blog !

As far as your 1 thing for the week that you don’t like – you never know about the gentleman that was mispronouncing the paint name (Aura). Could he have a reading or speech issue…or some other issue that we can’t necessarily see ? Of course, he may have just been mispronouncing the name – but sometimes there are things going on we can’t see or know about. I learned this after working in a hospital for 25 years ….

Oh my that soup looks good. Perfect for these cold, wet winter days. And no, you are not the only one. He should know the product that he is trying to sell. That is one of my biggest pet peeves. If I go into a store and am inquiring about a product and I know more than the salesperson, there is a problem!

Ha – that would have driven me crazy as well! I hate when people pronounce things the wrong way. It’s pouring but in the 60s here in NJ today. The temps are supposed to drop tomorrow so all that ice should be fun…ugh. Enjoy your weekend!
