Thats a thoughtful way of communicating. However I am not sure if the issue is that big. If someone tells me "I like your car", I also have to do the transfer that they are talking about "my" car. However I am not working in the support field, and communicating in a way that works around these pitfalls is probably the safer way.

That is a wholesome story. Thanks for letting it play out like this. In a world of increasing abstractions that hide the details, it's great to encourage the next generation to experiment and explore.
