BigSkyDiamond Posted 8 hours ago (edited) i dated a Dine' (Navajo) guy for awhile. There was no word for attorney in the Dine' language, so a phrase was cobbled together for attorney: Dinébe'iiná Náhiiłna be Agha'diit'ahii This roughly translates to "those who talk too fast and help revitalize the well being of the Dine' people" Edited 7 hours ago by BigSkyDiamond 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liminal_luke Posted 7 hours ago I keep reading on MSN that younger people (generation Z) think it´s rude to call a friend out of the blue without texting first. Could this possibly be true? I´m likely very out of touch but this seems to me like a very Strange Thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And gen Z etiquette experts are reported to have a new way to answer the phone. They cancelled Hello, instead they just pick up and keep silent waiting for the calling party to start speaking. Now that's rude far as I'm concerned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like many Generation Z people, I´m no stranger to social anxiety, so I get why it might be uncomfortable to have people stop by unannounced. But I want to live in a world where my social anxiety is challenged rather than catered to. We´re human and we need other people. If someone is my friend, they´re welcome to knock on my door any time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for personal calls, if someone doesn't want to answer, then just let it go to voice mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
