Sure but there is still a particular communication style that prevails, and people adopt it, or try to adopt, to fit in. It’s less about the accent or vocabulary and more about the tone.
A lot of this was parodied pretty effectively by the Silicon Valley TV show.
- tayo42 2y agoI don't think that's location based. More likely industry. Even in California once you leave SaaS /software /internet startups the corporate culture is different. My wife doesn't have pronoun police at her California office job. Me working in web software, I had a guy from the Midwest scold me about pronouns.
- keiferski 2y agoI guess what would be interesting (and what my original comment was about) is how / if the California communication style got started in SV and then traveled around everywhere else via the tech industry. I think it likely started as an aspect of a particular location and then became an industry thing later.
