Different Uses of Language

I do agree that men and women use language differently. I feel that we use language differently in a lot of aspects of life. The difference in use of language is very clear to me in a few aspects of my life. At work when a female co-worker asks me to do something it is more of a polite request compared to my male co-workers who are telling me what to do oppossed to simply asking me. The difference also is brought to my attention when using language to make plans. When I am making plans with a girl it takes a ten minute conversation to figure everything out as oppossed to making plans with my buddies can take a ten second phone call. For example my buddy called my yesterday and said, "Peanuts Noon we are drinking." That was the whole conversation, but I still know all of the details of the plan. I can not do that with my friends that are girls. I also notice a difference in the use of language by men and women when talking with my parents. When I am doing something wrong or acting a certain way my Mom will talk gently and suggest that I do something differently. If my Dad sees something I am doing and does not like it he will pull me aside and tell me that I am fucking up and to fix it before he does! These are just a few examples of how men and women use language differently.
