After I changed majors in college, I found out in my senior year that I needed a bunch of "filler" credit points to bring my total up to what I needed to graduate. By then I had started working at the college radio station, and knew that I wanted to get into it as a career. I took "Voice and Diction" to try to hone my skills, and "Phonetics" to give myself the tools. (I figured that learning how to write down subtle nuances of speech would make me more aware of these nuances; I was right.) It was fun, too; everyone else was taking the course because they were speech-therapy majors, and they thought it was utter $h!twork. I had already begun to form my "announcing voice"; I pronounced the letter "r" more clearly than most people from the East Coast, modeling my pronunciation on Midwesterners like Johnny Carson, Jean Shepherd, and Walter Cronkite. (I kept the East Coast vowels, though; made my homemade accent more "universal".) Whenever we did a class exercise involving reading a passage out loud and transcribing it in the phonetic alphabet, the other students used the "R coloration", or dropped their R's completely, but I pronounced them clearly. At the end of the semester, I took a box of alphabet macaroni and painstakingly picked out all the R's and put them in a Baggie. I made a little speech to the teacher about "cleaning up all the R's that everyone dropped around here" and gave him the bag. He thought it was hysterical!!! He pinned it to the speech department's faculty bulletin board, with a note, "For the R-less community!" .
