Having returned from the trip to USA, my boss pointed out that I spoke
rather harsh language. Here is an example.
I would say something like "I suggest that we do so and so" and
according to my boss "I suggest" was interpreted specifically as an
order, not as a suggestion or as an indication of one option among
several possible courses of action. My boss indicated that wording it
something like "Perhaps we could proceed like so or so" would have
been interpreted properly.
He's simply too sensitive in my humble opinion.
But he's the boss, so he must be correct. ;-}
