That's really educating one's self ...give me a break! Yankih ...could it be 'potato in the mouth syndrome'? or were you born with that speech impediment?
Seriously, consider proper English tutoring, to hopefully improve & correct speaking skills, especially in public.
What brought that up? Your regional and socioeconomic prejudices?

By which we are to understand what? Your cheese-whiz southern New England accent, which everyone understands as boardroom buttspeak? The Yale and Harvard business grads, blowing snot on everyone who puts the creme brulee' on their plates, and enjoying little jokes at the expense of the helots beyond the Hudson?
And as for my verbal ability, girl-pal, don't worry about that. It's already been measured by the GRE as somewhere off the Richter scale. If by that crack you mean acquiring the charms of post-indenture East Anglian uyup-speak, I'll pass. Every North American male with a pair of functioning testicles larger than about three millimeters would rather sound like Waylon Jennings or George Jones or Shelby Foote anyway. You can have Ted Kennedy and the rest of his fellow Brahmin-wannabes. You can keep the Brahmins, too, for that matter, and their snotty little Porcellian Club stickpins. We'd rather be people.
