How you talk and the way you sound matters, like, you know? A whole lot. Really!

Our speech patterns, accents and word choices make a strong first impression. It influences the way people think about somebody when they know absolutely nothing about them.

If you spend a lot of time around gay men, black women or drag queens, chances are you\u2019ll greet them with a \u2014 hey girl!
