"One thing that people don't seem to acknowledge (and in part it's due to American culture's absurd stubborn insistence that we're all the same in every way all the time) is that we change our speech depending on who we're with because THAT'S HOW LIFE IS. I don't call my mother by her first name or by the same language I use to talk to my friends because that would be rude. Why do I think I automatically get the privilege to call out-groups by their own in-group terms?" -- Ari Schwartz: Dark Lord of the Snark, 2013-12-13
