(WGST Blog Post #2)
We discussed in class this week how we sometimes change the way we speak in certain settings to accommodate the situation, blend in or stand out. The point is, we all change the way we speak to conform with our surroundings; for instance, when speaking in an academic setting, students try to use correct grammar to sound "smart". When we talked in class, this video immediately came to mind. It really shows (outrageously, of course) the way we choose to speak around certain people.
