That's why I enjoy listening to BBC World Service television and radio
- they still speak English over there. In NA the dialect seems to
consist of a strange mixture of ungrammatical contractions, strained
acronyms, PC buzz words and those who can't seem to utter a sentence
without saying "you know" or "I mean".
