Shaw, Actor Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, Professor Daniel Jones of London University, one L. P. Smith of the Society for Pure English, and Lecturer Lloyd James were the gentlemen selected to see that Britons should not, through hardening to voices in the air, fall into such malaproprieties as saying "acow-sticks" for "acoustics" "despick'-able" for "des'picable," "gu-raghe" for "ga'rage" "lie'aizon," "for leeay...
