I'm not so sure. I'd say that our way of speaking, our intonation, choice of words, style... or even preferred topics of conversation are indebted to those of some of the people we have nearby, be them friends, relatives or radio broadcasters. We talk differently, of course, but too interconnected, hardly isolated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7428523453680685137.post-40959352093187880762008-09-12T17:38:00.000+02:002008-09-12T17:38:00.000+02:00Once I used to ask myself if women and men really ...Once I used to ask myself if women and men really talk different. Now I used to ask myself how could I be so fool. Gosh! Of course men and women talk different! Even more, old people talk different from young people, religious people talk different from atheist people, and probably one day or another some scholar will demonstrate that people talk different according to their zodiac sign. I talk different from my brother. What the hell! I talk different from myself some years ago! The point is that sameness simply doesn´t exist. Everything is a question of proximity. The closer you examine two things; the bigger differences you find between them. Nothing is equal to nothing. We are all islands; all similar, but all different.<BR/>Juan F.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
