It depends on what you mean by "fail". We had a branch president in Japan who would make the poor kids redo it if they got off on the cadence. They could have every word correct, but not have quite the right style of oration. It was brutal. And do you honestly believe the Lord cares if one word is out of order? What if the pronounciation is slightly off? Where do you draw the line?
