GUEST,Bert	BS: Emma Thompson attacks poor language (155* d)	RE: BS: Emma Thompson attacks poor language	04 Oct 10
I agree with Steamin' Willie, we need "to nurture local dialect and phraseology?" even to the extent of accepting that in Dallas they pronounce exit as egzit. There is really no "correct English" as much as we would like to think that our own English is correct. If there were a correct English it would surely be the dialect spoken in the Capital City and we would all be speaking Cockney (where 'Febuary' is correct). What grates is the way that somebody else speaks, unless they come from Herefordshire where the accent is delightful.
