    Taking this to an all new level of correctness, my mother hails from a place where syllables are enunciated One of the ones that actually drives me nuts is vegetables. She says vege-ta-bles. True.

    I saw a programe on TV a while ago where a respected linguist was spouting on about the evolution of language. She said it was wonderful to see a living language evolve. She saw nothing wrong is "aks" or my absolute pet hate "newst".

    I newst to go to school.

    Oh, and I know someone on this site who refers to motorcycle passangers as pillons.
