If you are concerned that things should be said correctly, you may want to discuss this carefully with the person you have chosen.

If you find that you have "fool of yourself" in one way or another, you can be pretty sure that those around you are going to forget this long before you forget yourself. To not take itself too seriously can be a useful tool for the success of accepting yourself and your own limitations.
