    A refined and developed vocabulary directly co-relates to elevated status and income.

    Fact.

    So yes, I make the effort.
    I tend to agree. Sadly, a hard neck and huge ego have a similar effect.

    Two names that immediately spring to mind are Bill Cullen and Michael O' Leary. Neither of whom are particularly articulate, but are incredibly wealthy (Bill might be declared bankrupt, but guaranteed he still has a few bob stashed away under the penny apple cart!).

    Two names that wouldn't immediately spring to mind are Michael Dell and Bill Gates, both billionaires in the IT industry, and having met both I found them ferociously inarticulate, could hardly string a sentence together sans prompting by finishing their sentences, but I never had the chance to meet Steve Jobs, who by all accounts was incredibly articulate, but had a neck as hard as a jockeys bollocks, and an ego to match! :D

    Let's not forget certain TD's in the current coalition. Also TD's from the previous coalition. I'm thinking of the main party especially, in the previos government.
