Interrupting a rector/pastor in the middle of his or her sermon and
correcting him or her would be an excellent way to set the cause of
metrication back fifty years in that congregation, and make the interrupter
look like a total jerk.

He talks fast, and I can't interrupt him. I can't even join a conversation 
between two people who talk past me with no pauses.

Don't remember. I had to find several people and tell them various things,
and 
I kept running around only to find each one in conversation with someone 
else.
