If I had to say what I loved about L.A., I'd say that it has to be the most sarcastic place on the planet right now.
"Because people use language to communicate thoughts, the words they choose reflect the way they think. When relating experiences, an individual uses the visual, auditory, or kinesthetic representational system to identify these experiences and communicate them to others. For example, a person whose predominant representational system is visual will say phrases, such as "I see what you mean," "that looks good to me," "we see eye to eye," or "I get the picture." On the other hand, a person whose preference is auditory will use language, such as "something tells me...," "that rings a bell," "we're on the same wave length," or "that sounds okay to me." Finally, a person who is kinesthetic or "feeling" oriented will make statements, such as "I'll get in touch with you," "how does that grab you?," "you don't have to get pushy," or "how do you think I feel?"13
Successful investigators listen closely to the choice of words witnesses and suspects use. Then, they conform their language to match the interviewee, using similar visual, auditory, or kinesthetic phrases."
I was gonna return to blogging with some arty farty photo stuff, but what the hell, this is stranger and more interesting.
