I have to admit that when I saw the title of your video I was both intrigued and put off mainly because there are so many people on KZbin claiming to be professionals in a certain niche. Since I was so intrigued I viewed the video and I’m grateful for your worthwhile insight and work that you put forth into this video. About half of these terms are used in my daily life already but the remaining terms I definitely need refreshment on their usage. I’m very pleased that you care about the quality of language that we use as I was beginning to think it was becoming a lost art form.

Good for you! It makes me sad, though, that you had to qualify it by saying you aren't gay and hv a gf. Of course men can be interested in elegance, and shd be!

And your lady is, or will be, one blessed woman. All her friends will wish they were she.❤

When I was a young man I realized I had good manners, but my father was a Blue collar worker and I knew I was missing something. My mother was an elegant lady, but As a Black man we tend to have a more rough exterior the culture pushes this on us. So I actually took an etiquette class. I was the only Brother in the class but it elevated me from the boots to the crocket and Jones and bespoke shoes Armani suits And bespoke suits from the Bronx to living on Central Park west. I will also tell you that I do like the fact that I can move in both worlds. The words you are using only works in the world of elegance or In upper middle class. It will get one killed in the hood. I do appreciate your elegance you are a beautiful and graceful lady. Best wishes.

"When in Rome do as the Romans do". We were taught to speak the language of the group you are with - as long as you don't violate your own personal ethics AND never making others feel uncomfortable. The world is getting smaller. We have to move in lots of worlds to be successful. Be in any world but be of no particular world. It's okay to bring class to any situation you are in without being out of place in any. I love hanging in the hood but have never had to curse or use foul language. It's about accepting and loving people where and how you find them.

I was taught on ordering food in a restaurant to say, "I would like the Cobb Salad, please". I feel sad for the waitperson when someome says, "bring me" or "I want" or "I'll have". Perhaps it is just me, but these examples sound demanding and demeaning. I was also taught to say "thank you" when my food is served, or my water refilled. Seems good manners are declining.

It's rather appalling how little schools emphasize vocabulary, diction, spelling, and punctuation these days.

Question. Where is elegant speech a goal and to whom do you address it? Most citizens are alive. Their appearance is not very elegant. Their hair and pants are not real elegant. Why would I want the grocery store clerk bagging my food to sound elegant. Ours is not an elegant world, not since Mrs Astor died. There are so few people I would desire to sound elegant to; not even a Pope would make my list. Maybe meeting some Queen of England type would bring out the elegant speech in me, but how fake is such a situation? It's all for show. Show, of course, is what elegance is about. A beautiful home can be elegant, when seen. Jackie-K made opera-length gloves elegant. Mrs Obama was always so well dressed at State Events, she made an elegant impression, without opening her mouth. So elegant, that girl.

Google thinks it's elegant to change my words to different words. I said "most people are slobs" which emerged from Google, that arbiter of crap, as "most people are alive." It's entirely possible to be an alive slob, trust me, but that was not my choice of words, exactly.

This is the first time I've come across your channel. I so admire your style of communication. You are not only elegant but eloquent. Almost all of these words are a part of my vocabulary. The only word I lack knowledge of is #10. I had never heard the word bespoke before. Whimsical and whimsy are frequently used in the interior design realm so I tend to avoid those words and replace them with frolicsome. Along with polite words, using proper grammar also makes one ostensibly more elegant. In lieu of asking "can I go or can I have" perhaps ask "may I go" or "may I have". Also when ordering a drink or food at a coffee shop or an eating establishment instead of saying "I would like" ask "may I have."

Thank you for the inspiring ideas. Regarding words such as "contrite", I must say that while elegance in speech is desirable, successful communication (i.e. communicating the intended meaning accurately) comes at a precedence. Before employing a word in your speech you must make sure that it will most likely be understood by your interlocutor. The aim is not to distance oneself. You yourself mentioned that the aforementioned word is seldom used. I am an educated person; yet this was my first encounter with "contrite". How many people here are familiar with it? I just thought I would point this out.

In response to the above statement, the word "exquisite" is defined as as an adjective pertaining to something "flawlessly beautiful & delicate ". Would that not pertain to an object in the fine arts rather than an erudite video? As for Woman of Elegance, in the words of the incomparable Marilyn Monroe. "Thank you ever so...". Sadly we must look to the generation of Jackie Kennedy, & Grace Kelly to find a standard of elegance. Carry on with this website! You are filling a need for the current generation!! Bravo!

I was born and bred/raised in Africa. Some of us attended schools in British protectorates. My grandparents were British born, hence my parents had a very good command of the English language as do many African born people irrespective of race colour or creed, yet we still master other languages. We sure are different, our manners are impeccable. Why do Americans have a disdain for foreign dignity and proper languages presented. Speaking properly starts at home. If not taught from the cradle sure does impact you in life and it’s decision making. I love my British /African accent❤️😄🇿🇦🇮🇹🇳🇿🇮🇳🇨🇳🇦🇺🇹🇷🇸🇿🇪🇸🇱🇰🇰🇪🇫🇷🇧🇼🇲🇦🇹🇭🇺🇬🇩🇪🇱🇸.

Do celebrate your roots! It sounds like you had access to effective education. Now, please complete these sentences: Why do Chinese…? Why do British…? Why do Africans…? It’s not wise to paint so broadly when it comes to groups of people.

Thank you for your #1 on the list!!... I was brought up that way.. but sadly see that many have not been.. wonderful that you've given it #1 importance and I'm excited to see all those posting with such positivity! P.S. I think your words in the list sound better when being said by someone with such an elegant accent as yours!!❤❤

Taking notes! I’m a professional and appreciate this advice. I may sound more elegant with these words but if only I had your beautiful accent to bring it to an even higher level! I’m subscribing because even at age 63, I can still improve ❤️

Thank you for this. I’ve had a career change as a legal Secretary and feel like going back to school with my grammar and spelling 😅 A word I love is “Ascertain” meaning to gather information overall and learning more professional sounding words and this video has helped me so much! Thank you

Thank you for this useful guide. May I however suggest to read books. No need for complicate literature ( although it wouldn't hurt) but even light, romance or thriller or other pleasant and fast books. This is incredibly good for your vocabulary. Underline the words you don't know the meaning of and look them up. Hope this helps. Have a great evening ( here in Italy at least). Buonanotte.
