I don't have a TV - that solves so many problems.

The Beeb have been making efforts to dumb down their language and pronounciation.

This involves the people at the top when they notice they are leaders,
say to themselves - " Oh we dont want to do that....where's my bonus ? "

09 25 Beeb tv someone in a lancashire accent ( Fred Dibnah like ) and he is making deliberately dumbed down comments about the magna carta. He thinks there is only "wun" and i am going maaaaaad !

[Baldric]

What, in your opinion, is wrong with those words?

I got to get a move on.

[Prudie]

I don't get your point so I've never gotten upset about it

[janbee]

I don't have a problem with those words. It does annoy me though when reporters/presenters refer to WW1 vetrins. Also Chris Eakin(newsreader) refers to shoodge amounts of people/animals etc. Can't he say huge? Obviously not.

I don't understand why so many newsreaders and commentators add an R where there isn't one. Glarsgow and Sharft come to mind.

[nelliebee]

On a similar theme have you noticed how many people say "he's gonna" or "she's gonna"........... I scream at the T.v. or radio saying "going" the word is "going" (rant over) !!

[Zacs-Master]

There is always a better word to use than 'got' or 'get'. But would the DM readers understand them?

[jno]

they're English words, aren't they?

[wiltsman]

I get annoyed when news readers referring to the River Avon, pronounce it as though it was an American cosmetics company and say Ay-vOn, with the emphasis on the second syllable.

It should be pronounced simply as Ay-vun, with no syllable being emphasised. Speak it the same as the local population pronounce it.

I came from the poor side of the tracks and have always thought that these words sound Common, once I moved away I soon realised how dreadful some words sound,It seems to me that these words in particular are used as being the easy way out ,I think it is lazy I correct myself if I find myself using the easy/lazy option ,

[Mags22]

Agree with Vulvan about 'r' s creeping into words, infuriates me!

[sandyRoe]

People 'purchase' items now, particularly when talking about them on antique shows. Are things not 'bought' any more?

[dannyk13]

Used in the proper context there is nothing wrong with got & get.
