I don't have to "put on" a confused face most of the time. I really can't understand what most of the maskers are saying. I'm a little hard of hearing anyway, and with the consonants muffled and no way for me to lip-read, half the time the maskers seem to be humming at me instead of talking. I try to explain this to the maskers, but most of them don't seem to believe me or don't care. Even a (former) friend who's about the only person I know personally who's still wearing a mask just gets angry and stalks away when I tell him I can't understand what he's saying.
