Someone who speaks perfect English and uses perfect grammar in their sentences. Not so much that but someone who knows the difference between their, they're and there and when to use them. Also applies with your and you're. Correct use of the apostrophe to show possession is one of the first steps to becoming an orator.
The orator: Death to the illiterate.

Orator non penum 

(Latin) Literally, "the speaker has no penis." In rhetoric, an unanswerable comeback to a nominally male opponent who believes in the magical powers of the so-called "logical fallacies" to replace the missing member and thereby to "win" an "argument."
A: Sometimes I wonder if Shakira really is as good as people say she is.
B (triumphantly): Argumentum ad populum!
A: Well met, good sir. However: Orator non penum.
Audience: (Raucous laughter).

A has won the argument.

The London Oratory 

A place of Roman Catholic teaching where instead of a school prom, there is chapel every other week. On special occasions such as saint's feast days, jugs of very poorly rationed cordial is handed out to the pupils at lunch. Members of this place are referred to as Oratorians. An Oratorian can easily be summoned through loudly chanting "pater noster" in which the summoned Oratorian will reply "qui est in chelis". Pupils of the London Oratory will be told that they go to the "Eton of state schools" only for when they visit Eton in rugby matches the pupils are puzzled due to the lack of similarity in any shape or form. Each of the 7 years are divided into six houses, which very uncompetitively compete to win the annual house cup. This is due to the fact that not one individual is aware of how a house gets points only that when you come back after the summer another house's name is added onto the big wooden board.
I go to the London oratory it's kind of put me off the whole Catholicism idea.
The London Oratory is in severe debt but at least the library looks cool.
