I did not argue with him but secretly I disagreed. Here is the man who I looked up to, admired and in some ways wanted to be like.

You should know that he was in the military and made a career of the Navy Reserves.

Even though disagreeing with his ideology, a sound logical argument eluded me…until now.

Teddy provided the answer that eluded me.

Teddy Roosevelt, in the May 7, 1918 Kansas City Star said….

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President of that we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American Public.

There is a higher moral standard that all mankind must answer to.

There is a big flaw with the study as far as public speakers are concerned. It does not apply.

If you have a very thick accent, are hard to understand and do not enunciate your words, yes you may be in trouble.

Yet how many of us love an accent from a foreign land when the words are clearly spoken and the speaker is easily understood.

Well apportioned accents can go a lot farther than a high pitched or hypernasalaty voice.

Consider the last movie you saw with an actor with a foreign accent. Were you captivated.

It is not as much the accent as it is sense stress, modulation, diction and pronunciation. What we say plays a big part of the picture for public speakers.

If on the other hand I am mis-pro-nounc-e-ating words in a foreign accent, then that is a different story.

So please, master pronunciation, not accent reduction.

Speak well and prosper.
