Pretentious guardian of language: Verity

Pretentious guardian of language, theatrical and obliviously vain

Prompt: Mature female, late 50s to 60s. High-society British accent with a strained, performative elegance. Vocal texture is slightly pinched and breathy, conveying a desperate need for intellectual validation. Pacing is deliberate and theatrical, often pausing for emphasis on incorrectly used words. Tone is authoritative yet unintentionally absurd, blending matronly sternness with oblivious vanity.

Script: My dear, if one insists on being ambiguously literate, one might at least do so with poise; your last remark was positively... catastrophic, and not in the complimentary sense.
