Sorry, the percentage is less

the correct use of language is neither necessary or desirable. Of course it's desirable but it's evidently not always necessary if someone can reach the top of their profession in spite of being severely challenged in the areas of annunciation and pronounciation. Some might call that overcoming a handicap. I don't think he's "a dunce" either but, if he is, can anyone tell me when the next course in "duncery" begins? I expect it would be full time but does anyone know how many years it takes to qualify?
You could be right about that. I remember a classmate whose stammer always got much worse when asked questions. I could never for the life of me decide whether he was putting it on to get himself out of a corner or was stammering due to being in a stressful situation. Anyhow I gave him the benefit of the doubt but don't think it cut much ice with the examiners.
