That's OK, you should hear a conversation at home between my children and me. It would make a franco-english canadian cringe... Now, the funniest part was when I started here some 20 years ago, and I went to the secretary and asked for a rubber... She sent me to the stock room, who sent me to someone else. It took me 3 stops to realize they were having a good time at my expense...
