Take this how you will, but maybe your impromptu answers are ‘wrong’ in some sense.

When I was younger I was very free with my opinions. As I’ve become older I’ve met more people and suffering off-the-cuff responses from others has opened my mind to my own B.S.

In part I’ve improved my speech, writing and thinking following my growing interests in philosophy and linguistics.

If nothing else, I’ve learned the phrase “word salad”.
