<li>Be aware that, regardless of the speaker's intentions,
some phrases or constructions lead people to expect a
patronizing statement to follow, and avoid such phrases. For
example, beginning an interjection with "Well, actually..."
can set this expectation and be taken as a sign of
disrespect.

<li>Assuming without asking that particular people or groups
need concepts defined or explained to them. It’s great to be
sensitive to the fact that people may not be familiar with
technical terms you use every day, but assuming that people
are uninformed can come across as patronizing.

<li>Assuming that particular groups of people are technically
unskilled (e.g., “So easy your grandmother could do it”).
</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>Use of trigger phrases that may distress or offend
certain groups or individuals. Be aware that some terms,
though neutral in their original meanings, now have
offensive connotations within some groups. For example,
"thug" now carries racial undertones to some.

<li>Pedantic or repeated corrections that don’t contribute
to the conversation.
</li>

<li>Repeatedly interrupting or talking over someone else.
</li>
<li>Feigning surprise at someone’s lack of knowledge or awareness
