Who doesn't love My Fair Lady? It is the story of street urchin Eliza Doolittle who, through coaching, learns the mannerisms and speech patterns of the upper class to fool them and get the man of her dreams.

Eliza Doolittle Day reminds us of the importance of elocution, grammar, and syntax in effective communication. There will always be differences by region. For example, consider how Americans and the British pronounce the metal aluminum. In America, we say Ah-lu-mah-nim. In England, you'll hear Al-loo-min-ee-um.
