At the end of an interview:


A: Thank you for talking to me.
B: You`re welcome. Nice to meet you.

I feel `Nice to meet you� isn`t suitable at the end of a conversation. Am I right? Please comment.

Grammatical errors which creep in, without our noticing it!! It happens even when you are good with your �Tenses�, which is such an important portion in English Grammar! It is very embarrassing to be caught out on little errors like this, even though you know that you are a fairly good speaker of English!! Similarly, there have been instances, when I was asked for a spelling off-hand, and many a time I have fumbled, till I took the pen or pencil and wrote the word down- you just go blank!!- makes you look real stupid!! What more i even typed in wrong in my facebook account!! But that is the way it is and I suppose and these kinds of errors will creep up now and then!!

There is no need to be embarrassed about any sort of mistake you make in a foreign language you are trying to learn. Rather, you should be congratulated for trying.
