These errors are true, but noone talks about the workarounds. I have developed some workarounds that have sustained me through 28 years of marriage to a unit from a totally different subspecies and quite possibly another planet.

1. Yes dear. My father passed this bit of wisdom down to me. He said you don't have to argue with them, just say yes dear and go ahead with what you wanted to do.

2. I'm sorry. Once again, you don't REALLY have to be sorry, you just have to say it.<vbg>

3. I'll do better the next time. See #2
