SOME interviewers may try to do it, but it's often illegal or dicey. When I was doing interviews for my company, they gave us a laundry list of topics to avoid.

I've done this a couple times in the past month, though usually to get to where I'm going earlier rather than avoid delays. I'd advise to check when things open beforehand - I showed up almost 2 hours before boarding for one flight out of PHL (I'm a "better safe than sorry" person), only to wait for the check-in desk…

There are some cases where it's helpful to correct (I can't be the only one who was saying "epitome" wrong in my head for years), but just looking at all the responses to this post makes me shake my head in disappointment.

*slow clap of agreement*

Take a look from the other side: If the world decides that the way we've been spelling something doesn't match modern pronunciation and decides to improve that spelling, the dictionary should keep scolding us into out-of-date spelling and pronunciation? Language changes - that's why the dictionary doesn't look like…

Ugh - can we not do this, at all, please? It's just a way for people to denigrate non-standard regional accents and dialects. I'll give you that there are some words we might pick up from reading & not realize the correct pronunciation for, but as soon as we start disparaging people who say "aks" instead of "ask," it…

Seconded. My grandmother prepaid and pre-arranged everything, and even if she didn't save money, it saved her family from making any decisions or spending their own money on the services etc while grieving. When she passed, everything was already settled and set up, which took a lot of stress off her children and…

I can't be the only one who set up a "fake" facebook account for any apps that require facebook login. It's got a fake name, a fake birthday, and I only use it for apps - I seriously recommend it, even over this "anonymous" login.

The etiquette is to do what's comfortable to you, as long as you stay mostly out of the way. My parents will stay upstairs while their cleaning crew works downstairs, then switch to hang out downstairs when they go up. The crew doesn't seem to care either way, as long as you're not lying down on a couch they're trying…

As a female, this comment made me cringe. Getting dresses dry cleaned in my area runs about $15 each - and I'm talking office attire, not formal gowns. To me, that definitely does not qualify as "cheaper than you'd expect". Apparently this is higher than the national average, which is $10/dress - still not cheap!
