language

"I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORDS COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!" Excuse me? "I'm sorry but I do NOT speak your language!" But it's English. Well, it's English-ish. I may have a small, vaguely-annoying accent. Or a dialect. Or a strange 'twang you just can't place but you immediately want to forget...

It's a shame.  Modern society places such a low-level of importance on basic educational skills.  We've raised a generation (or two) of children that don't know basic mathematics or even how to properly use the English language.

The Internet without dirty words? Can you imagine?

If murdering the English language was a misdemeanor, I'd be on death row, so what am I doing posting on proper pronunciation of words? Well, I ran across this article and found it entertaining but true. I thought it might come in handy sometime.
