  • hell, just stand up and say you want a playground for the kids to play in.. no fancy words needed

  • I'm wondering if there shouldn't be an updated version of improving one's vocabulary for today's audience. Most people can barely string together a coherent sentence! Sadly though, the expressive, well spoken individual is looked upon as odd or out of touch. I wonder how long it will be before people will revert to monosyllabic grunts!

  • I don't know very many people who were youngsters in 1948, but I imagine they spoke much better english than young people do today!

  • He seems to struggle with the idea of "the word".

  • I'm surprised Dad can even read!!!

  • Man, this is long.

  • Seems dad should've taken an interest in proofreading the term paper.

  • Very direct and insightful video!!!!!!!
