I take it this means you are a female? You have an ambiguous handle.

There are exceptions to every rule of course. But I think it's true as a generalisation. Females talk to relate first, and only secondarily to convey information. Males primarily use language to convey information and relate more by doings things with other people rather than by talking with them.

You have an ambiguous handle. Said the pot to the kettle! :-)

Another exception to the rule I see! So much for the old adage about females never admitting (let alone volunteering!) their age!
