A mumbler's comments on public speaking...
Went to A RDA Lecture this week regarding the architectural history of Berlin. This was the second of a series of 4 lectures, and while I expected the first lecture to be painfully boring, I was surprised because the speaker actually knew how to talk and while the information he presented could have been boring if placed into the wrong hands, I found it interesting, because of this persons ability to speak to an audience.
No such luck with the second lecture.
This lady could not keep me awake to save either of our lives, and she used so many 10 dollar words (Geomancy, Didactic, Symbiotic, etc, and all in one sentence too!) combined with the fact that she was reading her lecture from what probably was chapter seven of her book in a monotone English accent, and you can see why it was a total snooze-fest.
Ahhhhhh! Why can't the English teach their children how to speak!
Ok, I feel better now.
