You got a bit confused there... Shall I dumb it down for you?

Oops, I missed this. So you cant think of an example of what I mean? Well, perfect example is that many people hear a southern american accent and assume that person is automatically someone with lesser intelligence and will then feel the need to dumb it down for them. Or did you just automatically think my post was directed to you and you felt the need to insult me in response.

I'm the only "bad guy" in this thread, so I did automatically assume your post was directed at me (alongside to the "elitist" jabber), and my response was obviously meant to be ironic. Maybe I should have dumbed it down for you by putting a wink-smiley underneath it.

I have a few 'modes' when I speak.

When at work or in business, my language and demeanor is completely different.

It's all business, politically correct, and very respectful--but direct. I don't talk

in circles at work, and I ensure my point is easily understood by all.


When with friends, it's more relaxed, filled with cursing, and often crude.
When with just a female friend, it goes back to being a bit more formal

and I refrain from talking about vaginas.


When with Asian friends, I really simplify what I'm saying, but that's because

of langaugae. They simple can not understand long sentences, don't know how

to navigate active-vs-passive voice (so they have no clue if the subject of the

sentence is doing or receiving the action outside of guesswork), etc. So I find

myself stripping out much of the meaning of what I'm saying to get it much more

'basic'. It's used to be very difficult but now I'm used to it.


This thread is really boring now. It was really more or less about how cute

Sunny is.
