Grammarian - Rosa
As Grammarian, it is my responsibility to pay close attention to all speakers,
listening carefully to their language usage. I’ll take note of any misuses of
the English language, as well as any outstanding words, quotes, sayings, or
thoughts. As Grammarian, it is also my duty to introduce the Word of the
Day.

Enrich
Definition : improve or enhance the quality or value of someone or
something
Example : Her experience as Toastmasters enriched her life.
Ah Counter

The purpose of the Ah-Counter is to note words and sounds that are used
as a “crutch” or “pause filler” by anyone who speaks. During the meeting,
I will listen for overused words, including and, well, but, so, and you
know. I will also listen for filler sounds, including ah, um, and er. I will
also note when a speaker repeats a word or phrase, such as “I, I” or “This
means, this means.”
Timer

As Timer, I will time the Table Topics speakers, prepared speeches, and
the evaluations. I will also alert each speaker of the time they have left,
using the green, yellow, and red cards, which denote specific times
remaining.
