BUSINESS, PERSONAL, or WHATEVER---YOU need to read this!
Just
want everyone to know: All that HIGHFALUTIN, fast talking, you do can
not be understood by a hard-of-hearing person.
If you leave a message on
a hard-of-hearing person's answering machine--using that HIGHFALUTIN,
fast talking----you just may as well not call. Don't know who it is,
what you want, or where to call back. So, if you never hear back--it's
your own fault.
Oh, I'll leave comment with definition of HIGHFALUTIN
in a comment. So proper, so fast, so unnatural, so ill-mannered, so
unbusinesslike, so useless--who cares if no one can understand you--but
you sound so modern, right???
