Imagine you are the first officer in the cockpit of a flight. The ATC has been highlighting some storm clouds in the flight path your plane is taking. It seems that the pilot hasn’t paid any attention to the warning and is flying straight towards the storm. You decide to say something. What do you choose to say:- A. “That dark cloud at twenty-five miles looks mean.” Or B. “Which direction would you like to deviate?” Or C. “Turn thirty degrees right.” Option C is direct and unambiguous, Option A is called “Highly mitigated speech” What you choose to say or not say could decide between life and death.
