I don't even rehearse. Means less polish but more actual interaction.

Why? You did like waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/doing…, right? So you feel offended by speakers who settle with 3A/B? But maybe they tried 3C?

@DajanaGuenther @olivergierke I don't know what's insulting about this. They give a talk and it has good polished content

@olivergierke I guarantee this is much more common than you think, many doing it while you have no idea in the audience!

I have seen this done by people who don't speak English at all and had to give an English talk...
