It's the crux of the biscuit....

Does he correct spoken grammar mistakes? If so i'd like him to have a word with BBC Radio Lancashire about their presenters,who keep pronouncing such words as child,wild and mild with a Y in the word! It's getting so bad that i have to turn the radio off to escape it. When they read out the weather report and say it's going to be miYld today,it drives me crazy!!

That would require a pronunciation vigilante, Accy. But are you sure that's not just a Lancashire accent?

The main culprit is from Sheffield. He'a on air now.http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_lancashire. I don't hear the Y much in east Lancashire,it's more south Lancs and Manchester, which was south Lancashire up till 1974.

...And that wouldn't be a crime?

 

[Accy cyclist]

Mrs Accy says i'm being snobbish about it and like others says it could be their accent more than sloppy grammar. That maybe the case but i long for the days when you had to "speak proper" to get on the tv or radio!

What a nobber

He should channel his anger elsewhere than greengrocers' apostrophes. Something useful instead of this pathetic nonsense

Was he angry? I must have missed that.

 

[Accy cyclist]

I think i saw an example of the misuse of apostrophes in a shop sign that said Jackies Nail's. If BBC Radio Lancs mentioned this they'd pronounce it Jackie's NaYles!

There's LOADS of 'Lancastrianisms' that really get my goat. The over-emphasis on the T sound at the end of any word annoys me immensely. I also wince whenever I hear 'an ah wur agert'. It makes me think such people should be locked up.

Yes but are they getting paid by the BBC to speak,or attempt to speak the Queen's English?

He has been taken down a peg as grammar is not about punctuation:

Personally, I think this chap has way too much time on his hands.
