** This is a true story **
Bit of background first: I am from a country where English is not the native language. Having said that, since we were colonized by the British close to 150 years people feel inferior if they don’t speak in English, especially in posh public places. One such place is the British Council where people come to use the Library and attend English classes held there.
One fine day I happened to be browsing some magazines in the library when one of my friends came to me and requested help on what he should say in order to talk to the lady at the reception. I basically told him to first say “Good morning, madam can you help me in finding some information on blah blah blah”
Confident after my lesson this guy goes to the reception, says “Good morning, madam can I help you”
