Default AOPA states that

But since the
organization has a president who makes George W. Bush sound well- spoken

I'm pretty picky about what gets written, because the author has time
to think, proof, and change.

But I am very forgiving of most impromptu speaking situations.
Speakers are thinking as the form the thoughts and phrases, and
frequently change and adjust midstream. If I recorded my own speaking,
I'd probably destroy the tapes.

There is an exception to this, and that is tv and radio
newscasters--newsreaders. THey have a prepared script, and it is all
wrong. I am seriously considering giving up on listening to tv news,
because they are nearly all reading the stuff in newspaper-headline
style. They use no verbs, or everything is "--ing"
I once heard an entire segment on tv that had not one single sentence.
And we wonder why our population can't talk properly.

The above paragraph might appear thusly:
"An exception for tv newscasters. Having prepared scripts, all wrong.
Listeners considering giving up listening, because newscasters reading
in headline style. Using no verbs, or everything is "ing"
Listeners hearing entire segments without a single sentence. And we
wonder why our population not talking properly."
C'mon, the newsreaders are setting the example.
