His English is world class in the Anglophone world, accent and skin color excepted.
He has an outsize vocabulary but he tends to downshift when making public speeches to connect with the crowd. He spent a lifetime with two top class British trained lawyers, and it is impossible not to have that legacy rub off.
What separates him from the man in the street is the precise choice of words and crystal clear thought train, products of a lucid, uncluttered mind. The speed of thought and clever turn of phrase only accentuate his quality of mind.
Command of the English tongue isn't just grammar and a way with words. It is crafting your message and delivering it as intended to the mind of the recipient.
In that respect, Mr. Lee is world class.
