299. If you're talking about New Yorkers, I know they are a lot more

direct. Probably more direct than people anywhere else in the country, don't you think? Have you lived in a lot of places? The Seattle area doesn't seem that different to me than the midwest, in terms of that. And both are more direct than a place I lived in in the South, where people seem so so nice on the outside . . . but it's all on the surface.

There's a linguist named Deborah Tannen that has written a number of books about how people of different backgrounds and genders express themselves. It sounds dry, but she writes very interestingly. (The one about men/women is called "You Just Don't Understand.")
