While living in Birmingham, I am a Warwickshirian Midlander, not a West Midlander; I find those few who speak Birmingham Backslang as the most incomprehensible within the British, generally its the the tone and pronoucabillity that make other regional accents difficult to recognise, or too high pitched to the ear.

I know, I was being simplistic but I do see a downward trend when things aren't spelled and everything is a graphic. Better yet, next time when you walk through a store, look how many things are mis-spelled on packages - deliberately. Its not totally a cultural thing.

Even some of the training work related agencies subordinated to the DWP cannot spell or use grammer correctly - I computer traing course sent me a text the other day, it was like the writer who wrote it was twatering (intentional mispelling) on because it was split in to 2 messages that were split in the middle of a word... And that persons getting a salary... why did I bother doing any education for inept communicators to prevail...

I defy anybody who reads a newspaper not to catch multiple errors. Makes me mental that some journalism dipshit's sole responsibility for the week is to type up 3 or 4 short paragraphs and flubs it up.

I laughed my ass off today listening to some Washington Post wonk go on and on about how happy he was that Jeff Bezos bought the paper because "he has deep pockets" to maintain the current journalism excellence. Bezos is not gonna toss millions after millions to maintain the status quo at that paper, you can rest assured.

An understandable mistake John.... 'amlet could be a small village where pigs are kept by the yokels to be slaughtered for bacon...


NOOOOO... now I have gone and said the B word too...

Swine sodium chloride interface?

Now I'll stop or I will end up trying to write a bilingual pun here in my 'ameau whilst lying in my 'ammock eating from my 'amper of 'am.

'They buried 'im wiv 'am' as in the poem.

If a pig has an accident do they send a hambulance?
