Tubing

Laughter is the biological reaction of humans to moments or occasions of humor: an outward expression of amusement. Laughter is subcategorised into various groupings depending upon the extent and pitch of the laughter: giggles, chortles, chuckles, hoots, cackles, sniggers and guffaws are all types of laughter. Smiling is a mild silent form of laughing. Some studies indicate that laughter differs depending upon the gender of the laughing person: women tend to laugh in a more "sing-song" way. People make me laugh :)

If you do wish to correct the grammar of someone whom you truly believe would welcome & appreciate the correction, then start by asking them if it is okay to offer them a suggestion. You might say something like, 'This is kind of a delicate issue, but I was wondering if it would be alright to offer you a grammatical suggestion? You know I'm kind of a grammar nerd.' This gives the person the opportunity to welcome your suggestion & not feel bad, as you have pointed out your unusual interest in grammar. And of course, be certain you understand the specific grammatical rules & how to apply them before making the correction. But again, if you are not sure the person would welcome the correction, then it is better to keep the issue to yourself.
