    He doesn't *speak* (not talk) slowly, he enunciates. He actually speaks properly. As society has sped up, so has our speaking, and frankly, that's what causes a lot of the miscommunication that happens today. Perhaps if we all slowed down a little, things might improve.

    I always was told by my peers in my small town that I talked funny because I enunciated. They said that I talked funny and weird, when I was actually speaking properly. I am sure that Mr. Rogers dealt with this at a different time, with different people.

    For some reason, whenever I see a video with Mr. Rogers, I always tear up. It's just... he was... so nice...

    I... I don't know what it is... but what he says around 4:00 just made me start crying uncontrollably.
