And 'they' wonder why!

If mistakes such as that are allowed to become the norm then written English will soon become completely meaningless.

Oh, such language as doth sooth my ears. As a Welshman, I see no harm in this, language be it written or spoken is language all the same. You should see the average school register these days, and then tell me about spelling.

When I had No.1 son there was a girl in the next ward who thought that Chlamydia sounded like a nice name.............

Ah, you is confused there lad, we have more vowels than you. a,e,i,o,u,w,y.

And the following additional letters ch, dd, ff, ll, ng, ph, rh, and th. Some of which, are difficult, as you don't actually vocalise the same. If you have ever used a word with ng in I can guarantee you probably haven't pronounced it correctly, its like finger but take out fi and er, its right at the back of the throat almost like you are gagging.

It does have a certain ring to it.

If your fingers are at the back of your throat it's no wonder you're gagging!

Hahaha...ain't language lovely. There is so much more humour in the written word than the spoken.

I is not itillerate!

How long ago were you at St Athan Piskie? I have driven past the end of the runway countless times!

By the way - stick a toffee penny sweet (from a box of Quality Street) to the roof of your mouth and you will say Llanelli, Llanfallteg, Llandisillio etc (but perhaps not Machynlleth) with the best of them

Its a lot easier saying Machynlleth in your sleep, as your airway closes, and help get the raspiness of the ch.
