      “Vulgarism in language is the distinguishing characteristic of bad company, and a bad education. A man of fashion avoids nothing with more care than that. Proverbial expressions, and trite sayings, are the flowers of the rhetoric of vulgar man.”
      —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
