The grammar Nazis are usually the middle wannabe upper classes. Wearing glasses and talking posh like is more to do with them keeping up with the Joneses. The working and upper class have more in common as they talk naturally.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

It's just a level of competency with our tools. Language is a tool for the conveyance of ideas. With a mastery of that tool, one can convey precisely what he or she is thinking. In my opinion, few things are as important.

There are not many old recordings of peoples voices but recently discovered were thousands of recordings of WW1 British prisoners of war made by the Germans. The other day I watched an interesting documentary about it. It was made by a young lady who teaches actors accents. One thing she said was that people tend to speak in a way that relates to their terrain. People who live in mountainous places tend to have a wide range, while those of flat lands tend to have a flatter more monotone way of speaking.

Interesting. I wonder what other human characteristics correspond or are born from their surroundings. I understand Shirpas are able to breathe easier at high altitudes than peoples of lowlands.

Sailors tend to look up, land lovers down, as a result of how we navigate.
