Tannywheeler BS: Emma Thompson attacks poor language (155* d) RE: BS: Emma Thompson attacks poor language 30 Sep 10

John McK. what a wonderful poem. Everyone go back & enjoy it. I did every verse twice.

When my kids were little 1 of them couldn't pronounce "refrigerator". It came out "fer-MIJ-er-may-ter". So for a long time that appliance had that latter title. I still use it sometimes. For that moment I'm back in the throes of the love & busy-ness of those days...Mama loved colloquialisms, but when writing(especially for publication) she was adamant about the more formal "correct usage". People who weren't too familiar with it, she opined, could look stuff up, but, supposin' some well-educated person (like Les from Hull?) read it, she wanted no misunderstandings or complaints.

& Les from Hull--good on ya, pal. Anyone asks ME, ahl splain to um how erudite & polished yew R. Tw
