I'm not even sure it is the sense of importance that matters as much as a disregard for or lack of knowledge about conversational norms!

Better than "Hey Dilip" :-0

It's time for Guns N Roses to update that November weather song #Toronto.

The two of you will make a fine combination!

The abstract of this paper does provide an update of your priors if you believed there was some chance Bart knew before.

Under the hood of mental accounting

Research by Fei et al suggests our internal representation of expenditure categories is a hierarchical taxonomy, in which we adjust for overspending in nearby rather than more distant categories:
