Talk:List of speech types

What is this article for?
This seems like a very strange article to me, and intensely recalls this passage:


 * These ambiguities, redundancies, and deficiencies recall those attributed by Dr. Franz Kuhn to a certain Chinese encyclopedia entitled Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge. On those remote pages it is written that animals are divided into (a) those that belong to the Emperor, (b) embalmed ones, (c) those that are trained, (d) suckling pigs, (e) mermaids, (f) fabulous ones, (g) stray dogs, (h) those that are included in this classification, (i) those that tremble as if they were mad, (j) innumerable ones, (k) those drawn with a very fine camel's hair brush, (l) others, (m) those that have just broken a flower vase, (n) those that resemble flies from a distance.

Is there some compelling reason it needs to exist? &mdash;chaos5023 (talk) 05:48, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a new article by a new user. I agree it should probably be merged&redirected somewhere, perhaps Public speaking (which is where Speech (public address) redirects to). Go for it :) -- Quiddity (talk) 19:03, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Aaaack. Outside my comfort zone. :( &mdash;chaos5023 (talk) 20:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
