When I was in school in England, we had elocution lessons. One of the phrases we had to recite was as follows "I had to laugh to see a calf walk a mile and a half to take a bath" sounding the long"A" There were several others we had to use. We also learned public speaking i.e. speaking without using um and or but. If my teacher, Miss Kneal, was here today she would be shocked.

I dare noticing, formal words are romance borrowings - Latin / French. And, more, romance derived verbs, more recent, are regular, whereas older verbs, with Germanic origins, are more often irregular. The English language has such a complex and fascinating history!

Exactly true Gianluca! Latin is most definitely the foundation of formal English! 👍💕 Buon Anno! 🎊

@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah Grazie, Buon Anno a voi! ... even if, in a twist, some Germanic rooted words probably ended up sounding fancier than the Romance twin: blossom/flower, deem/judge, foretell/predict, seethe/boil, etc. ... for their use in Shakespearean poetry? This is so thrilling!!!
