Now that I am writing a short paragraph on language, I am definitely paying more attention and trying to analyze the way I speak. I feel as though I just had an epiphany, I have never really payed much attention to the way people speak and how it portrays their character. As I analyze myself, I realize that I speak differently based on my mood, the occasion, my environment, etc. When I am confident about something, the words roll out of my tongue so perfectly and loud, when I am unsure, I tend to speak in a lower tone and use the word "like" repeatedly, which is really bad!
I have noticed a long time ago that people who try to use big vocabulary words while having a normal conversation with their peers look awfully stupid rather than smart. There was this boy at my old school who desperately sought to have the title as the "smart one" and would always use terms that were unheard of to try to impress everyone but it would not really work out because people are able to tell the artificiality of his language.
