I like the point, however, about incorrect pronunciation causing a distraction.
It's difficult enough to follow the path some speeches take without throwing obstacles in the way, such as mispronunciations.
If the mispronunciations go with the flow of, say, an obviously humorous part of the speech, well, great. We're in that groove with the speaker.
But if the mispronunciations are part of a serious speech we're trying to take seriously, the speech finally isn't as effective.
What is the good of cluttering up a serious speech with mispronunciations, Faldage? Really. What good comes of mispronounced words?
