On re-reading it, I felt it came over as a bit arrogant and preachy. Apologies for that. I do tend to play the pedagogue a bit when it comes to language....
Actually, it is one of the things that annoys me about certain teachers that I meet. Because they have a captive audience in their classrooms (especially in a Japanese context where the Sensei is an unquestioned font of wisdom), they think that the turn taking and turn allocation rules that apply in their classrooms get transferred to the world outside the classroom....and that they have something important to say on every topic....poor social skills are the result.
I sometimes catch myself doing this and try to nip it in the bud.
