How To Tame A Wild Tongue

I only speak English so I only truly have one language mode. If you consider the way I talk to my peers and then the way I talk to my elders I suppose those could reveal my identity. If I was talking to someone of my age and I was told by someone older that my language or what I was saying was uneducated I suppose that would be an attack on my person, because I know that I am educated. The fact that I can change between talking to my peers and elders so quickly and change my language from being informal to extremely formal shows that I am educated enough to have a conversation with someone older then me. If someone my age were to attack the way I was speaking I would most likely just laugh it off because I don't think it would be an attack on my person.
The way I talk shows my identity because it is me talking in a normal way. It varies between who I am talking to but it does not have a drastic change. It shows my identity by me learning and growing as a person but yet being confident and vocal in my opinions.
