DEAR HELOISE: The French have a saying: “Scents are made to be discovered, not announced.”
— David K., in Buffalo, New York
David, this is very true. But unfortunately, some people — both men and women — don’t understand the phrase “less is more.”

DEAR HELOISE: I’m not sure how well this is known, but it took us years to learn it. We use room humidifiers, especially at night, because we live in a dry climate in Montana. Before, we used water from the cold water tap that was untreated, and we would experience small white particles that accumulated on nearby furniture and flooring. We learned to use water from the hot water tap that had been treated (“soft water”), and this completely eliminated the deposits.

DEAR HELOISE: By the time my little sister graduated from college, we had four English majors living under our roof. My mom was a music teacher, but she was just as concerned about grammar and pronunciation as the rest of us.
My dad taught high school history and was obsessed with the correct pronunciation of “mischievous” and “caramel.” I followed my dad into the teaching field and taught bilingual education at the elementary school level for 17 of my 27 years. Having begun as an English major, I was very interested to learn that pointing out issues in Spanish to my students was also important when developing good, fluent English.
I’ve heard appalling grammar in the classroom. “I’d have went” is a common mistake made in the classroom, as well as “I seen it!” Part of the problem with the classroom is that they keep adding more responsibilities to the teacher’s day. When students grow up in homes where their own families don’t speak good standard English, it is difficult for them to know that what they are actually speaking is substandard English.

Lori, young people need to understand that proper English is very important, especially when you get out in the world and need to apply for a job. If you’re in a role that represents your company, your employer will want someone who speaks well, sounds educated, and gives a good impression.
Speaking English properly makes you sound bright, educated and intelligent. When you’re going in for a job interview, everything about you is important from the way you dress to the way you speak. So, speak correctly and edge out the competition.
