John - the Jack Webb "Just the facts ma'am" approach - should not be a problem. We're all big boys. Straight facts shouldn't have to be sugar-coated and we really have no time for wondering "Oh . . . did I say that nicely enough."
But too often the worst is assumed - or the person feels uncomfortable because they didn't check the manual and they fire back defensively and on and on. I have six kids and watching the dynamics of their interpersonal relationships as they grew was quite the experience for me - an only child. They're now all over 24 and get along but occasionally the wheels come off.

We can't worry about every comma, at best maybe we just keep a misunderstanding from escalating.
