4. E· nun ·ci ·ate. Being articulate is important. You always want to make sure the people you are talking to understand you. Be clear in your message and get your point across. When you mumble you seem to be hiding information; that might not be the case but that is what is communicated. When you enunciate you have to think more about what comes out of your mouth. Thinking before you speak is very important and helpful. When you speak with purpose it brings more quality to a conversation.
