A coworker wears a hearing aid, but has never actively mentioned it. I have noticed that sometimes they don't quite follow a conversation, as they ask a question that has just been explicitly answered, or mistake a word for a close-sounding one.
Is there a respectful way to ask them if they have a "good ear" so that I stand on the correct side when i speak with them? Or to offer to speak louder? Is it helpful to correct them every time I notice they got something wrong? #Accessibility #AskFedi -

The easiest answer is to write stuff down if it's important, and the second answer nobody wants is to speak more succinctly or come to terms with the fact that even hearing people are bad at paying attention.

Ivan Graziani - Monna Lisa (1978)
Si riconosce che un pezzo è scritto bene, quando arrivi a fare il tifo per il personaggio descritto.
"il custode parigino, che spiava le bambine dell'asilo. Ora ha la bocca, piena di biglietti del museo".
Le bambine poco c'entrano con la Gioconda; è una ragione per rendere l'antagonista antipatico sia al personaggio che si accanisce su di lui, sia a chi ascolta.

@evan I used to, but really only needed WebDAV, so dropped all the PHP and database for that.

@unixmib Temo di non avere capito bene dove si svolgerà: nell'area del Politecnico in P.zza Leonardo da Vinci o nell'edificio (Campus Leonardo?) più vicino alla fermata MM2 Piola? Sarebbe utile una mappa.
