Analyzing Everyday Rhetoric: Word choice changes meaning

The difference between saying “shut up!” and “quiet, you!”:

Shut up! is a dismissive order, indicating that the rhetor does not care for nor has any desire to hear your perspective.

Quiet, you! is a passive command, suggesting that the rhetor respects your opposing viewpoint but would really rather not have to incorporate your way of thinking into their worldview.
