I'd be lying if I didn't say that you are not incorrect.

Do the needful and inform them in their error.

When the audit is finished, he will be informed of a "few" things 
I think the most painful part is having to hear him repeat it 2-3 times per call when customers don't understand what they are being asked.

Re: Do these words go together?
One of my first real jobs I had one of my responsibilities included reviewing technical support calls. It's hard when you hear people making the same verbal (or/or technical) mistakes OVER AND OVER.
I didn't mind correcting people's troubleshooting/technical mistakes (or asking them why they did it that way... maybe they were onto something I wasn't), but correcting language usage is always a tough one because it's REALLY hard to do it without sounding like a pedantic jerk, you have to concentrate on WHY it needs corrected (it confuses the other person etc) and not just because it's incorrect.

I just fly straight past pedantic and bring the full-blown asshole right away.
