Answer :

answer:I like it when people talk as simply as possible and no, not because I am dumb. I just don’t want to think hard to figure out what the person is saying. I know words I don’t use because a lot of people I am around (other housekeepers) don’t know what they mean. I would just seem like I am showing off. Then again, there are people who know words that I don’t, and when they throw around big words I feel like asking them what they mean and when they tell me saying “Then why didn’t you just say that in the first place.”
