If I see her, it's on sight! kidding.

I'm going to address since she's said it more than once. another lady on my team has also said it.

I'm trying not to assume. they're also minorities, but of course that doesn't mean it's not rooted in racism. one asian. the other latin.

maybe if they'd said eloquent, it would hit different. I told a peer that she was eloquent. she took it as a compliment, which is how I meant it.

do you ever comment on someone's use of the language? I rarely do because it's get be tricky telling folks they express themselves well.

the next time they say that shit.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

ie

you are a really good public speaker
i like how you speak with confidence and command a room
I really like your direct style of communication

When someone says i speak well i ask them to clarify. If they start stuttering and shit, well you already know...they just surprised you can string words together and match tense smh. If they name something specific, I'll take it as a complement.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

It's entirely reasonable that "articulate" has been ruined, but I get tongue-tied and too-fast-brain-for-mouth pretty often and really admire people who can communicate clearly, persuasively, elegantly. It's an important attribute worthy of praise. Nice job finding a good way to do it.

it's the approach I took with the lady I said was eloquent. told her about the way she conveyed the message with confidence and could tell she really knew her stuff.

asking for clarification is a good idea. I think my knee-jerk negative thought wasn't the way she or the other teammate meant for it to come across.
