Resumen:
Tomado de la Introducción : The speech of our day in the home, on the street, in the schools, and especially on the stage, pursues the limping tenor of its way with all sorts of sounds and intonations, due to the influences of our cosmopolitan life, while we, following the practice of Dryden's day, "torture one poor word ten thousand ways" to earn the distinction of being described a stuttering, slovenly-spoken generation, given to paying too much attention to accent and too little too distinct enunciation.
