| What is being described here is a general fear of any person that one isn't personally familiar with. Xenophobia, on the other hand, refers to a fear of unfamiliar types of people (e.g. fear of foreigners). If you call someone a xenophobe, it will often be taken as a grave insult, because 'xenophobe... |

| I just don't get an emotional impulse to care about people's names. Traditionally I remember the person for how we interact and for vauge facial features, but not for the name. However, if I make sure to call someone by their name several times soon after meeting them, and 'think' the name in associ... |

| Probably because people dislike seeing stitched-up wounds. Most people would probably hide stitches if possible, because they would feel that it detracts from their appearance and/or makes them look ugly. Also, it might be considered an 'unprofessional' appearance. I mean, wearing sandals is often c... |

If it wasn't such an important topic to their careers, it wouldn't make them so outraged :) I mean, if I wanted to join, say, the Army, it would be bad ... |

I haven't had a migrane headache, but people I know of who have them become totally debilitated - e.g. one has to stay in a quiet room with all of the shades pulled down and lights ... |

| I wouldn't count on such 'percentages' as a general rule. They sound like 'everyday' conversation. But words/bodylanguage/tone are each best for communicating certain types of info. So for some conversations tone will be most important, but other conversations are dominated by words, etc. It all dep... |

| I disagree - if people can understand your words anyway, it doesn't matter that they are mispelled*. And if people can't understand your words, then they should just tell you so that you can fix them manually. If humans can't figure out what a word means, then a spellchecker certainly can't - and it... |

However, it also sounds like just the sort of thing that a computer programmer does to make a living. It might've been a valuable experience, even if stress... |
