    Your comment reminds me of a Stephen Fry quote.

    “You slip into a suit for an interview and you dress your language up, too. You can wear what you like linguistically or sartorially when you’re at home or with friends, but most people accept the need to smarten up under some circumstances.” - Stephen Fry, 5:00.
