This reminded me of something I have observed many times. People tend to
project different personalities according to their dress. For example, a
person dressed in jeans and tees acts and speaks casually. Put the same
person into a suit and the behavior tends to become more formal in turn.
It only stands to reason that the way we clothe our words will also affect
our behaviors and responses.
