Friends, Hugh from Double Talk hits this right on the head... Dirk ------Original Message------ From: Hugh Curley To: doubletalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: night speakers ReplyTo: hugh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Jeopardy and the grammarian Sent: Mar 27, 2010 8:34 PM Hello Toastmasters, In this months issue of Toastmaster magazine on page 7 is a quote that I find very interesting. Said by Alex Trebek who has been the host of Jeopardy since 1984 said, "I think it is a sign of respect to our viewers that I make the effort to pronounce works correctly and to use grammar properly." This indicates the role of grammarian, which is usually considered an unimportant role, is very important.
