Greg - student's critical incident

Since I finished my CP's before the assignment was given to gather a critical incident with language, I found someone I often talk to in the CIES breakroom.  Having promised not to use her name in the blog, I will only say that she is a student from China.

My friend told me that one day she was talking with a female friend about make-up, lotions, and serums. She wanted to ask her friend what serum she recommended for her face.  She told me that she couldn't quite remember the word "serum."  She had a blurry image of the word in her mind.  She could remember the "s," "r," and "m."  Instead of thinking first, she went with what she could remember, asking her friend what kind of sperm she used on her face.

I hope she practices safe speech in the future!
