  • " Would you call one of these incorrect?
  • Thank you.
  • Not really.
  • I prefer 'awkward' to 'incorrect' for the first one.
  • Also, in an academic setting, you will hear that the second sentence is incorrect, especially if the lesson is on indirect questions, but in casual conversation it doesn't sound as bad as that.
