Excerpt from Knowing and Using Words
Language is the clothing of one's thought. If it is spoken, the quality of the voice, the purity of the vowels, the distinctness of the consonants, all combine to indicate the social and intellectual rank of the speaker. That accuracy which is perfectly easy and natural is an invaluable passport in business and society. Inaccuracy, slovenliness, or studied preci sion is infallible evidence of lack of culture.
