…it’s barely 8:00a.
I am having a poor communication day today. I am notoriously called out on accentuating the wrong syllables in words when I talk too fast. Which is why I tend to observe my crowd’s conversations first and tend to adapt a lot of my words in relation to theirs…even with vowels at times. However, some words tend to escape this…shortlist:
Bagel
Squirrel
Documentary
Harassment
Celery
…anything with an ‘str’ or ‘sch’
I also have a hard time expressing plural American ‘you’.
Then there are the times I inflect in varying uncommon tones…conjugate incorrectly…or structure my speaking word order incorrectly. I then get insecure, because I feel it eludes to a lack of education of my background. Usually this ranted post is not a huge concern in my life, but today I’m speaking like I’m having a stroke every time I open my mouth. I probably am going to stroke out today…
