Subject: RE: BS: Falling Standards in BBC Pronunciation
This has been going on for years in the US. I believe it is increasing use of the glottal stop among young folks. I usedto call it "swallowing the 'T'"
e.g.'Accounting' is pronouced "Accon'in"
And it has made it onto US Public Radio.
I reflected that this was the cocknification of the airwaves.
