Speaking With Confidence

A lot of times doctors seem to speak with confidence after they've diagnosed whatever you've gone in there for right. So even as you started talking right you were like i feel like right that's an example of what we call a hedge uh so you didn't say i am this you said i feel like i am this and so we can use words like probably might could possibly but also i think it seems to me i believe i feel all of those are examples of hedges  and the fun thing about think about language is become a little bit of a language detective right now.
