I can be fairly casual with certain groups and highly proper with others.  <\/p>\n<p>I also don't tend to always speak with direct words.  When I'm giving a presentation I do, but otherwise I tend to speak in concepts rather than straight out saying \"yes or no.\"  I got into that years ago when I realized that some people didn't react as well when I spoke directly to them.  Many people will say they would rather you speak that way, but actions speak louder than words.<\/p>\n<p>However, one thing I've been able to avoid are what I'm going to call \"additive\" words.  Things such as \"I wonder if there are any cookies, you know\"?  That's taking a direct statement that either should have been a question to begin with, and it makes people like me crazy.  I hear that sentence and I wonder \"am I supposed to answer that?\"  <\/p>\n<p>My friend Kelvin found this interesting clip from a guy named Taylor Mali that I believe you'll find interesting.  Do you find yourself saying things like this?  Do you know others saying things like this?
