[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not specifically an answer to OP’s question but this is related: how do you handle it when you become friends with someone who is missing a kind of basic piece of knowledge.  If the person is the same age or older than me, I feel  so awkward correcting them or telling them but have also felt like a jerk just letting the person keep doing something stupid, knowing eventually someone is probably going to point it out.  Examples—friend who very confidently thought[b] wine ages in the bottle[/b] so you should buy it and keep it as long as possible, even saving leftover uncorked wine.  Co-worker who really needs to trim nose hair.  Friend who, it became clear, does not tip for a lot of things normal people tip for (not on principle—I just don’t think he knows).  Just curious—how do you decide whether to say something?[/quote]

What do you mean?  Wine does age in the bottle. That's why people have wine cellars. Of course once it's opened, the clock starts.[/quote]
