George Bernard Shaw was interested in the way people spoke. He argued that he was never mistaken about a person’s status. Generally speaking, he thought that

lower class people betrayed themselves with their remarks whenever they spoke, and that he could classify people’s social position after only a few minutes’ observation. However, he never put himself to the test like Henry Higgins and tried to pass someone of the lower class off as an authentic member of the upper class. Higgins thought that a superior social position was more dependent on grammar and pronunciation than on a person’s fortune. Actually his view was only accepted by a

handful of his followers. These people never realized that this idea would form the plot for one of Bernard Shaw’s most famous and classic plays!
