I agree, I am redneck and speak it casually, but I also know how to articulate and there are times when speaking properly can make or break a deal. I change my dialect, and vocabulary according to the situation. It's the only smart thing to do.
When in rome do as the romans do.

I agree 100%.
I have a few co workers that could benefit in daily interactions with the body language class.
What is it they claim??? Somethign like 90% of comunication is unspoken..... so what you say to someone is only 10% of what you speak, the rest is in your tone and body language.

I grew up in an environment where we generally spoke "proper" English. Now I live with someone who majored in English who has corrected me so often, I now correct her sometimes.
Speaking intelligently does make a big difference.
