I can't say that my speech is without failing. In fact, far from it, many people have a hard time understanding me - due to me talking too fast and/or too quietly, and perhaps a deep voice, mumbling my way through whatever convoluted thought process I'm trying to convey to the other person in the conversation is not the ideal speaking style. Especially if said other person does not speak English as their native tongue.

That said, I've been watching instructional videos online done by "pro" poker players, and holy crap do these guys sound... hilarious.

I wonder if there is any sort of correlation between playing poker (successfully) online and sounding like the hugest dork in the world?
90% of them sound like Professor Frink from the Simpsons, many of them thalksking wifth a listhp, to the point where even though I am a glasses wearing dork myself, I just want to hunt them down and beat them up, just having had to listen to them.

The exceptions to this rule are the Brits. They all are awesome - and I have to wonder that were I actually British, if I would not feel the same way when listening to them and it is merely some cultural divide that helps.

I regularly see a speaker who looks and sounds just like Emo Phillips.
