In most legislatures, punctilious attention to correct usage is considered elitist. The word 'government,' for example, is normally pronounced 'gummint'; bureaucracy is 'bureaucacy'; fiscal comes out 'physical,' and one moves not to suspend the rules, but to 'suppend.'

Deutsche Übersetzung

In den meisten Gesetzgebern gilt die strikte Beachtung des korrekten Gebrauchs als elitär. Das Wort "Regierung" wird zum Beispiel normalerweise als "gummint" ausgesprochen; Bürokratie ist Bürokratie. Das Steuergeld kommt „physisch“ heraus, und man versucht, die Regeln nicht auszusetzen, sondern „zu dämpfen“.

Governing isn't as easy as you think. Many of you have taken pledges that are contradictory - to balance the budget and cut taxes, for example. You must be honest about the numbers, since our annual deficit now exceeds all discretionary spending combined.

At some major events - your birth and death, for example - while you may be the center of attention, the events are managed by others and are more important to the people around you.
