What or who are they, and why do you think they have this effect on you?  What do you notice about the way people use language, in both oral and written contexts?  Do you speak differently from the way you write?  How do you perceive your language skills?  Are you proud of the way you use language?  Are you self-conscious?  Include some examples of language, from what you've heard or read, that
