It's hard to explain, but it helps get perspective of your own country more. It's been two years now and I'm still learning new things about my own country as well as the rest of the world. (American in Japan)

These work for me: 1. I'm so sorry, I didn't get that. Could you say it again more slowly? 2. Sorry again, the word after <foobar>, could you spell it for me? 3. Okay, before I reply, let me make sure I understand: you are s

When asked for an estimate, one good prerequisite is: "with what confidence level?" Assuming estimating 100 tasks, how many can we safely go beyond the estimate? 20%? 1%? 0.001% Then give the estimate based on some probability cur
