Is the rhetoric language becoming a lost art? I find more and more these days when speaking rhetorically that it is lost in translation on most audiences. Anybody else seeing this, or am I alone on this?

I think rhetorical questions are the tops, SFC Vernon McNabb, and I use them fairly often. Rhetorical speech ... that's another animal. I had to look up the word to get the difference:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
rhe·tor·i·cal
adjective \ri-ˈtȯr-i-kəl, -ˈtär-\
: of, relating to, or concerned with the art of speaking or writing formally and effectively especially as a way to persuade or influence people
of a question : asked in order to make a statement rather than to get an answer
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I guess we use rhetorical writing all the time here on RallyPoint, as we attempt to persuade others that our way of thinking, our answer is the right way, the right answer.

No, I use pictograms.
No you're not alone, just not understood by everyone.
