"certain bristolians who took very great care over their diction, jim ,please note"
Sorry Cap'n - either I am missing your point, or you are deliberately avoiding mine - what on earth are you saying - that your speaker only manages to speak as well as he does because he took diction lessons - surely not???
You want to hire a diction coach, speech therapist, Swedish masseur.... whatever, feel free.
I suggest we stop cluttering this thread up with something that seems entirely down to a matter of personal preference and individual experiences.
