    I think you may have better luck by adopting the Mr Roger’s style of communication.

    Telling someone they don’t know what a word means probably is going to make them become defensive and bounce off instead of engaging with what you’re saying, regardless of you being correct.

      I appreciate the video and advice. You are right, it does make people instantly defensive. I actually never really watched Mr Rodgers as a kid. My dad thought PBS was communist propaganda lol. So I will try to learn from this best I can. Thank you.
