“Whenever you try and simplify how people speak, it's just hard to squish them into a simple rule. Language doesn't work that way.” PeopleTryingSpeakLanguageSimpleSimplify Author:Kory Stamper
“I certainly self-police my language depending on who I'm talking to. I try to be very careful about using filler words, about not drawling certain vowels, even when I can't say "drawl" without drawling. That's kind of sad, because self-policing inhibits communication. You're more focused on the words coming out of your mouth or that should not be coming out of your mouth than making a connection with the person you're speaking to.” TryingKindLanguageCommunicationCarefulFocused Author:Kory Stamper
