I happened to have news on television and caught a bit of an interview with a bewigged barrister. I had imagined that they would be well-educated masters at expressing themselves but, without paying much attention, I noticed them speaking of less barristers and that something should move as fastly. They also wanted to practice crime, presumably against the English language. Perhaps I awoke on the mean side of the bed this morning but I wonder how much else I would have noticed had I paid more attention. I might have charitably allowed them being flustered by the television camera had they not qualified in a career that rather entails being put on unpleasant spots sometimes. It serves their clients poorly if how they say things distracts from the intended content.

Admittedly, the news is much about their dreadful pay so perhaps we should be glad of any bothering to remain a barrister at all.
