Okay, be careful at least with the "never speak". It is true, but I can imagine that people can easily forget that it is so, or make a mistake. But if you have something that you think almost fits, better ask. Though I think if you knew the right answer, you would know that it is the right one - at least it should not be a problem to think of what all the parts refer to, once you had it.
