"Givers tend to use more powerless speech, talking with tentative markers like these: * Hesitations: "well," "um," "uh," "you know" * Hedges: "kinda," "sorta," "maybe," "probably," "I think" * Disclaimers: "this may be a bad idea, but" * Tag questions: "that's interesting, isn't it?" or "that's a good idea, right?" * Intensifiers: "really," "very," "quite"
