And even correct information in that smug tone can sound like nails on a chalkboard...

Default Yeah, but when it's incorrect, it's all the more an insult!!!!!! :-)

You can't change their mind either, no matter how gently or how directly you try.

Default Perhaps "Camry" has come to mean "car." Just say, "It's an Audi 100CS camry." In Texas...

... all soft drinks are called a "Coke." So you can get a "Coke" or a "Dr Pepper Coke" or a "Sprite Coke."

Default He was retired, I am pretty sure he thought all foriegn cars were toyota's...

He was just trying to be nice and strike up a conversation. I told him it was an Audi, and he just said oh, and started talking about how much it looked like his sons camry.
