I learned that it is much more acceptable to break social norms with friends than acquaintances. Of the acquaintances I have, those more receptive to my behavior were those who knew me better, though I’ve known none of them for more than three weeks. I learned that even though people could ignore the way I was speaking, either because it was easy to read or because I was not saying anything important or pertaining to them, they chose to get upset about me breaking the social norms in a public way, to the point where one person left a group he was obligated to be in just to get away from it.
If I could do it again, I'd try to make the project more subtle. I'd like to see what would happen if the change was less obvious, or at least less immediately intolerable. I think I also should have been more standard with my methods across my friends and acquaintances. While I feel I more or less hit on the same point, I know I could've been more precise in my methods.
