I stopped substituting my words a few years back and I don't think it has helped much or made much of a change. I also work in a call centre with strict scripts and call handling times. Recently I've...

That’s understandable. I don’t see that any different than people preferring their partner to come from the same culture or having a similar lifestyle. Don’t close yourself off to those that don’t stu...
