Would you consider having elocution lessons? Would you consider making your children have them if it's already too late for you?

Being well spoken helps one acquire a more prestigious and emotionally fulfilling careers. When I overhear young people on the bus and other forms of public transport- even if they are able to refain from swearing- I'm aghast at some of the regional accents I hear and find it hard to believe they will ever have an edifying career.

@WandererTony I've wondered that too, every time I've seen a post by "MsBellows".

@Piper I think someone is caricaturing or parodying some rigid narrowminded ultraconformist from their past. Just a hunch though; I don't know anything more than you.

@ElwoodBlues I think that is likely. It's hard to believe that someone could be this much of a supercilious twit. Possible, but unlikely.
