The Axis of Stevil has many goals, one of which is to educate its followers. Speech and vocabulary are among the first impressions people gain about others. A person's memory will retain a lot of information about another person's speech. Among those, vocabulary rises to the top. Possessing a good vocabulary is as important as learning how to ride a bike. With or without it you will get to your destination, but with it you will get there much faster.

The Ninja’s secret weapon is the ancient art of confusion called spoonerism, their families are thankful for its teachings and rejoice ‘ When the boys come back from France, we’ll have the hags flung out!”
