Dear Lorica,

Your post reminds me of the comments of Flannery O'Connor about the hard of hearing and shouting.

When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal ways of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock — to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the blind you draw large and startling figures.

— Flannery O’Connor
