It's funny how when we are home or around friends how our language start to change. We use shortcut's in speaking, but when we are in public situations we change the way we speak so we don't look ignorant.
Absolutely. I'm somtimes surprised by the way my language changes from classes with students to meetings with colleagues to writing group with friends to home with the kiddo. It's more frightening when you slip, and speak the wrong English in the wrong place.
