As I've mentioned in other posts, as I age I find some sounds are irritating to my ears. Mary speaks like she it talking through a straw, like she has some kind of speech impediment. A lisp? If you make your living speaking, you should have good speech patterns, enunciation & so on. She's sweet & sharp but can't listen to her for long.
She was mentored by DV who though he is from the South, he works hard to speak plainly. You would think he would encourage her to take some speech therapy.
I don't like the new Philosophy presenter. She has a bit of a squeal to her voice. I miss the "old" presenter, Deanna? Dena? It's obvious the older folks are quickly being replaced by younger ones.
Gosh I will really miss Sue "Dooney & Bourke" when they kick her old self out the door, she is one of the best vendors.
I enjoy Sandra & Albany & Jennifer.
