Gérard when people use those expressions, it is very difficult to discuss because they don't care about what we think. They have no doubt at all !

You're right Muriel.MurielB a écrit:Gérard when people use those expressions, it is very difficult to discuss because they don't care about what we think. They have no doubt at all !
These expressions are often used by Americans.
Remember they are trained to speak in front of the class and to convince people.
So these expressions are very useful to them.
We, French, say Americans are arrogant
(Americans say the French are arrogant),
this is mainly due to such expressions.
Of course Am don"t agree with us
for they are used to say such strong words.

In that case I understand quite well that these expressions are useful ! when you are a persister or believerGérard a écrit:Remember they are trained to speak in front of the class and to convince people.
your devotion to causes, to a political party, to your company, etc. and your tenacity in respecting your ideals, principles and values make you use such expressions.
Are you interested in the European process communication model ?

[*]Persister (Dedicated, observant, conscientious)
[*]Imaginer (Calm, imaginative & reflective)
[*]Promoter (Adabtable, persuasive & charming)
[*]Rebel (Spontaneous, creative & playful)
