Do you ever think about how there is a combination of words you could use for a particular situation to get X or to make X happen?

I often think about this. Let's say you need something from someone... there exists a perfect combination of words you could use which you get you it, which would make them agree, or feel a certain way so as to cave to your demands, or whatever. Same for anything, it could apply to anything. Like there is a perfect combination of words that if you found them, they would make you the greatest writer on Earth, etc.

Yeah but it's not only words, but also mannerisms, gestures, facial expressions, and whatnot. Persuasion is more than just word choice, and if you simply need to persuade someone to give you something, the fastest way to do so will often include lying, which many people are not willing to do.

Well yeah, but still, we use the internet to speak to one another a lot
