beautiful how fry does not at all take his utter brilliance linguistically seriously! And hilarious how it has an absurd point! And Hugh's face! Absurd hair Stephen and poor Marjory! I could just quote every second of this and laugh at it all! and what the dickens is a pansa! xxx

I totally agree! If you listen to what he's saying, much of it does have a point. Does language serve a higher purpose than communication? (BTW, he said *panzer*, not pansa.)

Are Americans more susceptible, susceptible, to demagogery? When I watch Obama I recognise his ability as a speaker, but there's no way an Australian audience would respond that way to a politician.

It's our indigenous (Native American) roots. An admiration of orators is something you'll find among all Native cultures, and that rubbed off on the Euroamericans. We value a speaker for their ability to speak.

It's possible because English is possibly the fastest evolving language that there is. It began as a combination of languages and has ever since progressed and changed, exacerbated by the fact that it's spoken by people that are spread out across the world. Even within England itself the language can be very different from north to south.

I think its more like "What a beautiful thing: the English language."
