Something for the Fourth, This Week’s Friday Five, and Hiatus Notice
June 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment
For about 18 years, NPR’s Morning Edition has read every word of the Declaration of Independence on July 4. It’s really something amazing.
They are professionals and it comes out in this reading. Their voice and treatment of the English language is a far cry from the screaming and sibilance that is found when people broadcast talk [...]
