9. Oral Drill
If you are a fine fellow and a friend of ours, you would refrain from
being tough or rough with our fine feelings by calling us “pine pillows”
when you mean “ fine fellows”, “prince” when you mean “friends” or
calling our jokes “punny” when they are really “funny”. Fellows like
you are liable to “peel” our hands in a hand clasp, instead of “feel”
them. We’d be afraid to feast with you in a restaurant for fear you
would be “ putting “the bill over on us, instead of “footing “ it
yourself. You might wish to “please “ us but we think you “fleece” us.
So dear fumbling,faltering, unphonetical /p/ pronouncing friends,
face the fact and don’t fake your phonetics. Unless you fit your teeth
between your lips, you’ll have this up for you can never laugh it
“off”. (adopted)
