I didn’t either until I'd visited the site mentioned in the first message. I found the Winston Churchill site a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for something else. I sent the link on to some of my other Toastmaster club members.. That's were I also found the audio version of the speeches. I've listened to a number of them. Because most of Americans aren't really familiar with an English accent we often miss it. Also very seldom do you get a big dose of Churchill speaking. Once you know he lisped you can filter out the accent and notice the lisp. It certainly didn't stop him from being a great speaker and an effective leader.

Interesting. Lisp or not, hearing the man speak is indeed inspiring!

Bump for Churchill!
