[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught public speaking at the college level. Everyone benefits from taking public speaking. As for accents and dialects, I find there are many across the US and they all have issues for audiences if one isn't familiar with it. Case in point, I could easily understand a black DC teenager long before I could someone from Scotland. It also helps dramatically if parents speak properly to their children at home from birth. I know some of my children's friends who were raised by nannies have some speech issues. So people on this thread need to lighten up. Few people have perfect speech! And then we have our President.... [/quote] Understand all that you said -- good points. But the issue isn't whether we here lighten up. It's that poor speaking constrains job prospects because communication skills matter for businesses.[/quote]
