RedM Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 People that say 'pacific' when they mean 'specific' and those that say 'aks' instead of 'ask'. Yorkshire folk who say 'what do they call him?' when enquiring as to someone's name and that whole "when are you in work?" followed with "nine while five" thing. Grrr....

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 There's always been a variety of geographical flavor in the day to day use of the English language... but the stuff that really enrages me is the Chavesque Can't be bothered attitude...

garethr Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 People in Chesterfield say "rate" when they mean really for example "last night was rate good" odd but true I think it's the accent which makes it "rate". What they are saying is "last night was right good". Dialects and accents are a good thing, mun (I'm Welsh, see). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
