LIP, TONGUE, AND TEETH: THE MAKING OF A CONSONANT
When careless articulation snarls communication—blame the consonants. For these are the speech elements that carry the main burden of clarity. Haven’t you listened to a speaker or singer who slurs and swallows consonants, and haven’t you also wasted time guessing a way to fill within the gaps between the vowel sounds? What is a consonant?
