conversation
I was somewhere today, and I noticed that there was this one girl who ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS interupted everybody when they were talking. She always had to get her thoughts in, and could never wait. She didn't have long pauses and when other people tried to jump in and say what they thought, she just kept talking and didn't pay attention to them. I know she is from New Hampshire, but her mother grew up in New York, and I think she spent a lot of time there growing up. So I was thinking that maybe she talks really fast and has really short pauses because of the New York dialect, but it was really noticeable. Or maybe it's just becuase she is rude? I don't know. But it really caught my attention today.

Hi Emmy,
I too started noticing how different people from different regions have dialects and pauses in their conversations. Before we talked how different people have various pauses, I used to think that some people are just RUDE to interrupt others. However, now I understand that they just have different dialect and therefore longer or shorter pauses, it is like an excuse that I am giving to them. I dont think of them as being rude but just different. Also I wonder whether I, being from other continent, interrupt others unknowingly because of my longer or shorter pauses. good point em!
