Babytalk to old people

Rachel Lucas (clearly one of the few bigger misanthropes than me) writes about a study showing that old people hate being talked to like they are 2 years old. She does so very colorfully, so I recommend it to all.

When my grandmother was in her later years, I remember people talking to her like that. I hated it about as much as Rachel did. I always talked to her about normal things in a normal voice and I think she appreciated it.
