Sir Edmund Carshalton (the younger)

Author of the 1923 monograph On the Audibility of the Apostrophe, which had concluded that the apostrophe was beyond the reach of the human voice, and on the publication of which he ceased to address the Society in spoken word. He broke his silence on 24th October 1962, in support of the Audibility Resolution; he resumed it immediately after his speech, and did not break it again.
