  • Yeah, leading with the important part so the reat of it has context seems to work a lot better for a lot more people in my experience. Especially in your example where you are trying to front load the thing to do followed by the thing not to do. That way they don’t jump to speculation halfway through the sentence :)

    On a somewhat nonscientifically aupported personal observation, if the sentence structure has a ‘but’ in the middle the audience is very likely to start mentally guessing what is coming up and will have more trouble listening to what it being said. It can often sound like a rug pulling moment, where what they thought was true is suddenly switched up and most people don’t like that. So if thinking ahead it is better to reverse a sentence like in that example to avoid the middle ‘but’.




  • Depending on the heat build up and dissipation and the length of the slope, constant gentle braking could result in loss of friction if the brakes overheat that would have a negative impact on being able to control the speed at the end of the hill and could result in warping discs brakes.

    It would probably need to be a very long and steep slope to do that, but heat build up is the only thing that really impacts brake wear since the same amount of friction is needed to slow or stop.





  • If someone accused you of being pro-Trump and you said “I’m registered independent” do you think they’d be like ‘oh, nm carry on then’?

    If they asked I would say ‘no’ instead of trying to dodge the question.

    You asked about something specific, whether someone was ‘officially’ something and I answered the question. You asked a question that is apparently different than the thing you want to argue about, which is who they (currently?) support.
