Hate it. All I want in this world is to be able to understand the people I love, and to express how much I do. It has given me fantastic SAT Critical Reading scores, an encyclopedic knowledge of Celtic myth, and an idiosyncratic dress sense that I thoroughly enjoy. Not much of a payoff if you ask me.

Tell him to kill 'em with kindness. It may not be the most effective thing at the age of twelve, but when he hits high school the guilt on their faces when you take the high road(and the knowledge that they really learned their lesson) will be priceless. Manipulative? Yes. But a long-lasting, bloodl...

If there are a lot of people talking, or there is music playing I cannot hear you. Repeat: I cannot hear you. If we're in a crowded lunchroom, for example, your no doubt incredibly interesting remarks are forced to share a limited amount of auditory processing with forks clanking, the people at the ...

One word: television. I have almost perfect tone/inflection, because my favorite thing to do when I was young was to repeat the things people on TV said over and over.
