Non-notable phrase. — Dædαlus 06:12, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- Merge with Roundedness. Useful information, but doesn't warrant a separate article. Jujutacular 06:41, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- Merge with above suggestion and logic. Certainly has a place in a proper collection of similar phrases or at least a list. Datheisen (talk) 07:29, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't really like the idea of merging to roundedness. Ideally, this should be part of an article on teaching elocution, as it's probably one of the two most iconic English elocution drills. (The other is The Rain in Spain.) I'm not sure if elocution itself should be the article to covers such drills.--Chris Johnson (talk) 07:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- So if you don't think it should go in roundedness or elocution, where should it go? Jujutacular 21:01, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- Accent reduction looks like a possible candidate, but all the linguistics articles are rather too scholarly to accommodate these examples easily. Sussexonian (talk) 00:13, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
