>>>>>I have never been able to "read" speech or body language. I'm practically autistic when it comes to "collateral" communication. I am very, very wordbound.<<<<< I doubt that is true, and for Exhibit One, I proffer the Helenator!<g> OK, now I think I have convinced you without a word! But, I think I get your point, you are an engineer, intuition doesn't help you with engineer-speech, for a couple of reasons, one which you alluded to, or someone else did (Sturgeon?), that it is not polite to "read" body language-statements that people are not expressly stating verbally, and anyway it may be counterproductive. But, I am not an engineer, the situations in which I developed intuition have to do with crises of the human mind and heart, during which the brain and tongue are not always the most reliable informants.
