Some argue that it's all part of the way language constantly evolves... Others argue that we're just pandering to the slack-jawed yoofs wot are so idle they can't even be bovered to move their lips around and form intelligible words. No wonder so many foreign visitors to this country speak better English than many of the products of our education system .... <sighs> :roll:



Is 'fink' in the new dictionary? (the modern inner ghetto children definition of 'fink' rather than 'someone who tells secret and damaging information about someone else; an unpleasant person'?)

Fink - verb (past and past participle thought (fought innit)) "i fink im gonna spk 2 mi m8s or sumfink"

Perhaps it's all a ploy to help out crap Scrabble players?

Going to stick my oar in again.
Mazuma.com's recent TV commercial really bugs me.
Ten too twelve year old kids selling used mobiles which their parents probably bought for them.
I know I speak funny but MAZUMA.CAARM??
Where will it end one has to ask. :agrue:

Got to agree, alot of these adverts now do my head in.
But its the media's attention of grabbing your attention and to get people talking about it, and it works. :-?
