Random quetsion for you all:
Nov. 18th, 2005 09:00 amDo you find the internet and communications through it (such as AIM or LJ) have made you more aware of cultures becides your own? Do you find yourself adjusting your slang depending on who you're talking to? [like if you're talking to someone in the UK you use 'post' instead of 'mail' and 'lift' instead of 'elevator' and the like]. Do you make an effort to give temperature/money referances for the other country (like if in the US, saying what stuff is in C when you coment on the temperature to someone not in the US and the like, or convert how much money you spent into a curancy the other person knows)? Do you think you know more about another country or culture from your interactions with people from that country/culture?
