-- Posted by yyyt at 5:13 pm on July 4, 2009 how, like in this shakespeare we're studying, the intelligent character changes her language choices/type with the different groups of people she talks to. eg, dumbing down for the servants (to make them feel more equal and comfortable around her) I do this, but for purely the reason that my intellect is wasted on some people...   -- Posted by metacarPi at 5:14 pm on July 4, 2009 I don't. I'm not too intellectual in the first place, so if someone can't understand what I'm saying then they aren't worth talking to. -- Posted by stupidpaul at 5:19 pm on July 4, 2009 I sorta do the opposite, I like try to sound smarter around people simply to try avoid them judging me further than they already will lol -- Posted by porcelain cinderella at 5:32 pm on July 4, 2009 I talk and act however I want no matter who I'm with. It's stupid to change behavior to fit better with people around you.
