[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt so awkward when I complimented a woman's "dress", and she said "well it has another name". [/quote] That's when you respond, "Oh, I'm so sorry! What is its proper name? Thank you so much for telling me!" and then you file away that piece of information.[/quote] But we just addressed above that it is "rude" to mention that the item is cultural. So if 2 weeks later you say, "Your sari is gorgeous" that is "rude"??? Or the person being complimented could just be gracious and say "thanks". If I'm Jewish and wear a wig, when someone says "I like your hair", its not gracious to correct them by saying "Umm... its a wig... I'm Jewish and don't show my hair." [/quote]
