Is it considered rude to interrupt someone while they’re speaking?
I’m Korean and not a native English speaker, so most of my exposure to English comes from YouTube videos and interviews.
Recently, I noticed that in American talk shows and interviews (like The Tonight Show), people often talk over each other or interrupt before the other person finishes speaking.
So I was curious: do Americans usually see that as rude, or is it just a normal conversational style in American culture?
Edit: And even if it’s just part of TV show culture, don’t you still feel a little uncomfortable?
