To: generally

PS. I have an extensive vocabulary, due to reading at age 4 and reading much classic literature, poetry, etc and having the habit of reading dictionaries for fun and use, even now I have 3 next to where I sit and read (and two thesauruses - thesauri?).

When I write either poetry or articles I generally use a much more elaborate or precise vocabulary than when speaking. If I am speaking for formally, my speech patterns and vocabulary are very different when talking informally. And changes depending on who I am speaking with, topic, etc.

People who have spent time with Trump personally say he he is very different than much of his public persona.

I was just thinking about High School where I mumbled and talked and acted stupid to fit in because that’s what the cool kids seemed to do. Don’t wannna be labeled an egghead!

This is actually a very good skill to have in management. My vocabulary and demeanor changed depending on whether I speaking with upper management or with staff.
