   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 30.03.2020 22:30   
      
     AH>> hesitate to suggest he use the word "yeah" or add "hang on a sec",   
     AH>> as I might do with family & friends.   
      
     ak>> Well, if you have good relations with your office colleges   
     AH> Usage note: "college" and "colleague" are two different words, but   
     AH> if Anton is a college instructor his colleagues are other   
     AH> instructors....   
      
   Ouch! :)   
      
      
     ak>> I believe the trauma the Anton's college had got was connected   
     ak>> exactly with such a confusion. He thought so hard on the   
     ak>> word "directly" that he struck the door jamb with his forehead.   
      
     AH> I believe one of the attractions of stories like this is that we're   
     AH> simply told what happened & can't resist wondering about the reason   
     AH> (s). Maybe Anton's colleague lost his bearings because his mind was   
     AH> busy figuring out how to interpret "directly" in this context... or   
     AH> maybe he had done the same thing so often he turned a bit too   
     AH> abruptly. I have experienced both at home. What comes to my mind   
     AH> first, however, is an incident where I happened to be present when   
     AH> of my instructors received a very similar offer from a fellow   
     AH> instructor. In the halls of academia you generally won't hear   
     AH> people swearing although the curriculum may include novels your   
     AH> parents wouldn't allow you to read when you were in high school.   
     AH> For a person who overheard but didn't see what was going on, it   
     AH> might be tempting to think the offer made to Anton wasn't   
     AH> genuine.: - Q   
      
   Yes, the final of this story is out of our sights.   
      
   BTW, what about you? Do you have in Canada COVID19 quarantine for old    
   people? Is it strict of something?   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
