A word to those who cut into conversations

In the culture of the United States, cutting into conversations is not only expected, but sentences are structured around this fact. Some professors of languages have even speculated that certain civilizations have changed entire sentence structures to avoid such interruptions, but not here in the United States. We are a conversation cutting people. People know that no matter where they're, there is a chance that someone will cut into their conversation. Understanding this, people need to be aware of three rules. These rules ensure that cutting may continue without the English language needing to be restructured completely.

1. The most critical key in cutting in is to know what is happening in the conversation. Do not ask questions to find out what's happening. Asking question not only stops the flow of the conversation, but causes great annoyance in those involved with the conversation. Make your entrance as desirable and unnoticeable as possible.

2. Do not say something that you think is cute or funny. This will force the entire conversation to stop. Everyone will look at you, and then you will realize that, that comment was probably the dumbest thing you could have said. Make sure you continue with the feeling of the conversation.

3. The last point, is to not steer the conversation away from where its currently at. If the conversation is going to change directions, it will do so naturally. Forcing a change only causes an quick and abrupt end to the conversation. Let nature take it's course.

In closing, if you follow these three points in conversation cutting, your comments will not only continue with the conversation, but more than likely be welcome.
