The words we use are always a giveaway

Yesterday on 'Morning Ireland' the interviewer used the term 'well listen' when talking with someone. It jarred.

Those two small words made it so clear how people use different words and styles when communicating.

It is highly unlikely that the interviewer would have used those words if intervieiwng a person of 'high rank'.

And that's what happens all the time and everywhere.
