Not American so unfamiliar with this excellent man, but his careful attention to language is brilliant and seems very ahead of its time. When I was small there was a strict teacher at primary school with a harsh grating voice whom I was very afraid of; my mum tried to help by reassuring me that this lady's "bark was worse than her bite". Of course I had never heard this idiom before so in my mind she transformed into a snarling dog, which naturally made my anxiety a million times worse. I bet Fred Rogers would have caught that faux pas and edited it out!
