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.

And that persons getting a salary... why did I bother doing any education for inept communicators to prevail...

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.
