Have you ever noticed that people used to talk very fast?

Question

like if you watch tv shows or listen to radio from like the 50's or even old episodes of laugh in orsomething the speech was very fast.. but now .... people... talk... like.... this.... and... its... really.... sad.....and... pathetic....

Answer 1

Hmm..I always thought speaking slow was better. I don't like when people talk too fast. Not because it's hard to understand, but because I feel like I'm being rushed or something. To tell you the truth, I think people who speak fast sound dumb, almost like they're uneducated.

>>>>>>>>>"but now .... people... talk... like.... this.... and... its... really.... sad.....and... pathetic...."

Not all people talk like that.  Plus, it's nowhere near said and pathetic obviously.  People should talk slow so others can understand them perfectly.

>>>>>>>>>"I don't like when people talk too fast. Not because it's hard to understand"

That SHOULD be the reason!  You should always be able to understand someone when they talk.  So that means that talking too fast is bad.

Answer 3

Sweetie, you would simply die of a coronary if you heard me talk.  I was born and raised in Georgia and now live in Florida.  I have a Southern drawl as bad as Blanche on Golden Girls or Paula Deen on the Food Channel.

It's quite amusing to talk to the people here.  Most of them are Northerners.  They always say that they love to hear me talk.  

Perhaps your life is too fast-paced and you don't have time to have a conversation with someone that speaks slowly.  Slow down.  Smell the coffee perking.  Enjoy life!

I do think that many people have learned that living fast and speaking fast was due to so much stress; and they have slowed everything down considerably.
