<p>This morning on the train, I said something on the phone to my friend that must have made the people sitting next to me think I was gay (this was unintentional of course, but I witnessed a reaction suggestive of this). I said "Good morning _____" in a really uptight, formal tone. I also said "That's correct." According to the character in A Boy's Own Story, my words and intonation alone would've classified me as gay. I believe there's some truth to what he said, because I've observed that in an informal context, straight guys are less likely to say "That's correct."</p>
