- morningseagulls 7y ago>Because it's hard. You sound all wrong to yourself. And after years of conditioning to sound "right", it's very hard to unlearn all that and sound "wrong", in order to perform that accommodation.
- lentil_soup 7y agoMaybe, that's a good point. At the same time, we often change our language in other circumstances already, for example, there's a difference how I speak to my grandmother, friends, boss or partner.
- nmeofthestate 7y agoYep, and talking more slowly with more simplistic language can feel "patronising" to the listener, which is dumb really, because it's being considerate to them.
