They speak more precisely and delicately. Men speak in a way where they don't care about speaking with detailed words because it's too feminine. It reminds me of the phrases "you throw like a girl" or "you run like a girl."]]> 2017-05-12 15:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/iz9c98bscpsn/wish/171513407 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/iz9c98bscpsn/wish/171513412 Women tend not to use expletives in their speech like men do. Although, this trend has become less and less as we progress through the century more and more women are beginning to talk such as men do with unnecessary expletives in favor of other words.

Overall, they are saying the same thing. A lot of the time the way women speak differently is with how is sounds vocally. Women tend to be a little more quieter than men, and they tend to really think about the overall result ending of their statement.  Example phrases consist of "Oh my gosh, that dress looks amazing!" to where "Oh wow, that dress looks nice." Their statements overall, in my opinion, tend to be more positive.]]> 2017-05-12 15:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/iz9c98bscpsn/wish/171513431 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_morris/iz9c98bscpsn/wish/171513456 Women use "weaker" expletives such as

Women tend to use more delicate language that Robin equates to effeminacy. They are less likely to curse even when it is seemingly appropriate. Women also are more formal than men regardless of whether they are in a formal or informal setting. So women may use (a) while others tend towards (b) ;

They tend to do this more than men because men see it as not masculine and powerful to know or use "soft" vocabulary. 

"This wall is mauve" a woman would say.
