I agree Blakey....it goes without saying (hee hee...another duff expression if ever there was one). I am greatly irritated by people who say sumpthink,or somethink instead of something!

Another infuriating and incomprehensible manner of speech which is spreading like wildfire goes on ad infinitum something like this :TWO PEOPLE HAVING A CONVERSATIONShe's like "Where are you going?'n I'm like "Mind yerown business"'n she's like "It is my business"'n I'm like "No it int"' she's like "Oh please yerself then."I sometimes wonder if a recent Act of Parliament has outlawed that old faithful and perfectly adequate word "SAID."

According to my dictionary, it's sumfink.I've noticed TV newscasters saying sicth, for sixth.

My grandchildren here in the U.S. tease me because they say that I say Chooseday instead of Tuesday. Never noticed that I did.

It's probably been mentioned but if not... ... Parades round the streets on a Sunday from The Boys Brigade etc etc.
