Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellows, it can also if we use it carelessly make our attitudes completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word or of an ambiguous word may create an enemy where we have hoped to win a friend. Again different classes of people use different vocabularies and the ordinary speech of an educated man may strike an uneducated listener as showing pride; unwillingly we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listeners from what it does to men of our own class. Thus speech is not -a gift to use lightly without thought but one which demands careful handling, only a fool will express himself alike to all.
