Saying Inappropriate Things

When I filled out my first landlord/tenant application in 1998, I hadn't yet processed all the issues I was dealing with in my mind. It was an unusual situation for me to be in, at the time. And also, it was a question of understanding how the laws applied in that case and what kinds of terms were used. I had a feeling I was being harassed but it was harder to explain it right away. *** Have noticed that even celebrities have made mistakes in their public conversations! [Won't comment further.] And one time I had to work with a lawyer [English-speaking Canadian] who didn't know a "Dutch" person was from Holland! [And then there are the "Pennsylvania Dutch" who have a German background!] *** When people are dealing with matters outside of their education and experience, especially, they can easily make mistakes and say the wrong things. That's something I've been noticing. *** As far as children go, I think all of them probably say things that sound funny sometimes!
