I was walking somewhere Friday and a woman talking on a cell phone asked me for directions.
w: Can you tell me where Regina Street is?
R: Yes, it is this street that we are on. (I gestured along the sidewalk on which we were both standing)
w: (listened on the phone a bit more) Where is Erb Street?
R: It is that street right there (I point 8 metres ahead).
I wonder if that was at all helpful.
