DetroitYes communication skills...
While I realize we all get emotional on this board just wondered can some of you quit with the constant F**ing this and F** that and the constant degrading personally of each other if you don't agree with what they say... Do you really speak like this in your conversation with people day in and day out in person ?..Some of the language on here is really sad..People years ago seldom spoke like this in this blog and lately the comments are really crude.. Please show a little class, I know you have the courage of anonymity here but you will find in life if you can speak more civily,, your message will be heard more strongly.. That goes for workplace and in your relationships,, It all evolves around a ancient word, its called respect.
Thanks

Here is what Carol Bartz –Former Yahoo President and CEO – thinks of the Yahoo board that fired her: "These people fu--ed me.
Step back 45 years…
In 1969 Andrew Malcolm wrote an article for The New York Times, Malcolm was covering the trial of the Chicago 7; during the trial one of the defendants stood up and shouted. Malcolm caught the moment in his article saying the man had yelled "an eight-letter barnyard epithet." The obscenity uttered was "bullshit" -- a word so tame by today's nonexistent standards it wouldn't even raise an eye.
The F word can be the subject of a sentence, a noun, verb, adjective adverb, pronoun, or interjection. Its something of a contest, or perhaps the need to impress ones friends with their ability to swear repeatedly, over and over again, repeating the same word, occasionally switching it up by adding a prefix or suffix to their favorite swear word.
There are phrases that keep getting repeated over and over again, you know what I’m saying, you know what I’m saying, you know what I’m saying, as if I didn't catch it the first 20 times you said it, but despite repeatedly asking me, the answer remains = no, I have no idea what you mean, or are trying to say.
Personality research suggests that people who swear more than others, score higher on traits such as extraversion, dominance, hostility and Type A personalities [[Shocker).
Swearing, which was once reserved for uneducated individuals, who would substitute swears words to compensate for their lack of command of the English language. Swearing was common among people of the lower socioeconomic classes as well. While swearing may still be prevalent in these classes – the art of perfecting a complete sentence composed entirely of profanity is an accomplishment today, akin to a college diploma.
The English language has digressed into this unintelligible street vernacular, laced with profanity, grunts, groans, and the words huh – huh – huh, you know what I'm sayin?
