Who doesn't love My Fair Lady? It is the story of street urchin Eliza Doolittle who, through coaching, learns the mannerisms and speech patterns of the upper class to fool them and get the man of her dreams. George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion forms the basis of this timeless classic, which is replicated in dozens of modern storylines.
How you speak and how well you speak continue to designate your level of education and often status in society. Like it or not, you are judged by how well you speak, read and write. Eliza Doolittle Day reminds us of the importance of elocution, grammar, and syntax in effective communication. There will always be differences by region. For example, consider how Americans and the British pronounce the metal aluminum. In America, we say Ah-lu-mah-nim. In England, you'll hear Al-loo-min-ee-um.
However, well-spoken is recognized and understood everywhere a language is spoken. Happy Eliza Doolittle Day!
