Editor: Having endured yet another frustrating program by someone who didn't know the difference between public speaking and ordinary talking, I urge speakers to recognize the differences between the two forms of communication. Public speaking requires that you speak slower, louder, and with enhanced enunciation.
The continuous form of modern talking is unsuitable for public speaking, but we still hear long sentences that drift away quietly in a listless search for a period. Speak to me and the other old guys with poor hearing.
