the english language deteriorated into a lazy form of communication ? so many words now pronounced incorrectly that the english language is in fear of going down the proverbial tubes !

ive mentioned before about certain words that are now spoken as lazily as possible ie. the actual word is more or less half formed. i watched a bunch of "slack-jawed" locals from south england somewhere on tv..i wont name their town for fear of offending anyone from there on here o:) but bloody hell were they white afro/americans or were they having a laugh ? i could barely understand a word they vomitted form their mouths.

im beginning to wonder will you all be growing englo afros soon ?

my hated words at present..consume now pronounced conshume by you english also presume is now preshume and the latest is ..us now recently has been changed to uz... :wacko:

come on you bunch of slack-jawed english sharpen up and enjoy the Queens English its a beautiful thing when you know how to use it :thumbsup:

in the very near future i think everyone will talk like txt talk....

"lo ar u we 2day der dem det da is ? was ya god ter cul peewee shity pants der yago !"

do you think the problem lies at school or is it an after school thing. personally i reckon too much time is spent on political correctness and not what schools are really about..then again im loud mouthed Orange man..protestant and proud !

i have to totally agree with you here john..................i was in our local co-op earlier and could not understand a single word the young girl behind the counter said to me when i asked for some stamps :wacko:

i am always correcting my nearly 16 year old daughter...........it drives me mad.................i was taught how to speak properly when i was at school and my parents always made sure we spoke properly while we where at home (and their geordies :- " )

and dont even get me started on text talk :wacko: :wacko: if i ever get a text with all that crap written in it that i dont understand..............i simply do not reply :thumbsup:

I hate that so-called trendy way of 'talking up'-where every sentence/word sounds like a question?-

It's hard to describe.....If you've heard the way some speak-you'll know what i mean.

[SIZE=14pt]DORSET AND PROUD[/SIZE]
 
oh my god am i behind the times! when did everyone start saying shopping mall? i still call it a shopping centre! :eek:
 
Don't go blaming the school - we had a child come into the first class at school a few years back and she had a full on American Accent...straight of Nickalodean - she sounded just like betty boop - it reappeared every morning but disappeared quickly, but after weekends and holidays it took along time to fade - Blame the tv!...and the parents for sitting their children in front of it for hours!!
 
Heard this today---I'll try and get it in context.....

"Ok-So we are throwing a party for..........."

"I've asked everyone to bring.........the following food/drinks"

Someone questions her....

"You're asking everyone to bring that"?.... (some of the suggested drinks are quite expensive for everyones pockets)

Reply-"Well yes, look I don't want to get anal about this"

:blink: (w00t) :blink: (w00t) :blink: (w00t) :blink: (w00t)

Come on------ what does that mean??????

I'm obviously thick or just out of touch. :eek:

Karen
 
(w00t) there are lots of anal people out there
 
yes lots of arses about...... o:)

Is that it then?...she doesn't want to be an arse about her request?

Am i over- ANAL....izing words/actions again? lol

'tis a Cornish way of speaking too - when I moved down from London I was constantly wondering why everyone was asking questions all the time :lol:

Now I do it too :thumbsup:

The thing that gets to me most is the constant punctuation of a sentence, paragraph etc with "know what I mean" or "I mean" (w00t) (w00t) :rant: (w00t) :rant: ...... all the footballers do it, all the school kids and a huge amount of the population in general :blink:

I think Frank Bruno started it :- " :- "
 
Christ John your a fine one to talk!!! (w00t) No-one could understand a word you was coming out with on Saturday night! :p
