> Churchills speeches are good to read too.
I'm no fan of Churchill, but he was a great rhetorician, and very quick off-the-cuff:
"Sir, you are drunk."
"Yes madam; and you are ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober."

In spoken English we often conflate them: "I'll have bacon and eggs." It's not clear whether the speaker is expressing defiance ("Aren't you having black pudding?") or simple intention. I don't know how you learn nuance in English speech, but I think humour must be part of the training.
