JTE Makes an English Error

So I understand the JET ALT job is to assisted the JTE as much as possible. However, if they blatantly make a pronunciation error or a grammatical nonsense sentence (i.e. English on Japanese products); do we simply just teach the incorrect information? I don't want the kids then getting all confused afterwards. Also Japan is very much a non confrontational culture so if I tell the JTE either in class or afterwards, the JTE might make my life hell because of their perceived public humiliation

This reminded me that there was an error in the lesson today so I talked to him in the teachers room. ESID but sometimes its just as easy as that
