| If you say in my language to a 30 yo, sophisticated business woman, or a PHD student: Hey you, you look fantastic..................
it is patronising, and rude. I am 37, so if I say the same line:
Hey hello, you.... to 20 yr HB students, or salesgirls, it is OK, but I recently quit the young HB game, because everybody said I was a kreep for sarging 20 yr-olds.
If I say Hello Madam, and use te formal verb sintax, I will create an instant formal businesslike vibe that can set her on automatic. She will take on a conforntive face, fortify her voice tonality, and carry on giving me a sales pitch on IPO trends, or the latest marketing gimmick, or her assumptions on EURO rate fluctuation. _________________ Sooner than she thinks I'm at her door, from a world she's chosen to ignore.
