A society like ours doesn’t have very much interest in literacy. It is compulso ry to read and write because society must have docile and obedient citizens. We are taught to r ead so that we can obey the traffic signs and to cipher so that we can make out our income tax, but developm ent of verbal competency is very much left to the individual. And when we look at our day-to-day existenc e we can see that there ar e strong currents at work against the development of powers of articulateness. Young adolescents today oft en betray a curious sense of shame about speaking articulately, of framing a sentenc e with a period at the end of it. Part of the reason for this is the powerful anti-intellectual drive which is constantly present in our society. Articulate speech marks you out as an individual, and in some settings this c an be rather dangerous because people are often suspicious and frightened of articulateness. So if you say as littl e as possible and use only stereotyped, r eady-made phrases you can hide yourself in the mass.
