Paragraph :
Speech is 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 used carelessly, make our attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of a unusual word, or of an ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again, different classes of people use different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an educated may strike an uneducated listener as pompous. Unwittingly, we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener 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 kinds and conditions of men.
