Recently I've been reviewing my emails looking for accommodating language and then removing it. I remember back in the day "Clippy" would check my documents for passive voice. Now I wish he'd check my writing for being unnecessarily obsequious. I'm hoping this eventually translates to how I speak, and I'm hoping that by digging in I can just force the issue of being taken seriously. It helps that I'm in a female dominated field though.
