Achievement Earned!
Last night I was the Grammarian for the Toastmasters meeting. This achievement felt a bit harder to accomplish than being the Ah Counter. A large part of the reason is because my role was to look for both good and bad use of grammar, which is a lot easier said than done for me. On paper it can be quite a bit easier thanks to my work in English during the school year, but to hear it out loud is still something I need to work on.
I managed to earn a few laughs by doing a valley girl accent while explaining why I chose the word Similar, so I intend to try and do different references and accents for future roles to ease my own nervousness and to give the club some variety instead of simply being "This is my job. I'm going to do it."
