No big deal, it only took me an entire summer to come up with a big question, but here it is anyways.
What do we, as humans, believe is perfection? How did we did we come up with the idea of good speech? Because when it comes down to it, the way someone pronounces their /s/ blends or /th/ sounds, is because it is what they are used to and what sounds good to them. They have been saying it that way for what seems like a long time and then suddenly they are told to correct it. And although I have no problems with speech therapy and have personally seen the positive changes and outcomes that have come from good speech, I wonder what and who first set the bar for good communication and good articulation?
