another interesting topic!! i used to book a dance,
many years ago, and
hired a caller i knew who lived about an hour away. about two weeks before
my dance, i went to another dance called by this person.
a walkthru wasn't going well, and the caller
exclaimed "i don't know why you
can't do this, it's an easy dance." i had a long conversation with this
caller before my dance, i can tell you that!
Well, yeah, you can't say that. But there are occasions when it's useful to
say "I forgot to tell you: This is an easy dance". (That's generally the
occasions when people seem to be interpreting your instructions as though they
were quick questions, or otherwise just making life harder for themselves than
they have to.) I think I got from seeing Lisa Greenleaf doing it once.
