Quote:
“The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, said that in 2006, fewer than ten in every 1,000 single adults in England and Wales were married.”
Marriage hits lowest rate since records began almost 150 years ago | the Daily Mail
Quote:
"said non-native English dialects were already become unintelligible to each other."
Important to note the topic here;
Quote:
How English as we know it is disappearing ... to be replaced by 'Panglish'

It is English but not as we know it.
A new global tongue called "Panglish" is expected to take over in the decades ahead, experts say.

Of which I thought a VERY good description of the Mail;


It is English but not as we know it.

Tut tut, my Mother will be turning in her grave. I got many a slap on the leg for dropping an 'H'.

If I said 'nuffin' instead of 'Nothing' or 'ead' instead of 'Head' I would invariably get slapped. Mum's spoke very prim and proper.

Well I presume this one hasn't! How on earth do non-English speaking people manage to interact in English?


Quote:
Most interactions in English now take place between non-English speakers, according to Dr Jurgen Beneke of the University of Hildesheim, Germany.


I know what you think you meant but that is not necessarily what you said! (Yes, I know, I use too many exclamation marks.)

It's not only the people who have English as a second language who use this Panglish. It's happening all around us with our youngsters. Dey fink nuffink ov sayin it like wot it is.....man.

It's National British news papers as well. As my first post pointed out.

Complain? FORGET it. I complained, and have not had a post published since.
