I have a very odd habit of stereotyping accents of character or writer in my head while reading a novel or anything. Like if I’m reading a BBC article, I imagine it in British accent. Or if I’m reading a book set in Nigeria, I would imagine it in accent (very poor) of my version of what Nigerian English speaker may sound like. If I don’t know their background or ethnicity, it’s always Sam L Jackson. I don’t know if this is normal, LOL

Some just have more imagination than others I guess?
I am curious though; can you change the reading voice in your head, at will?

Interesting. I just recently learned that everyone doesn't have a running dialog in their head. They are not word thinkers. Which I imagine makes it harder to think through what they are about to say. It's so foreign to me I can't comprehend, but I am sure they can't imagine being in my head lol

I have always imagined the characters’ voices and read them in my head as such.

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.
