Has anyone else noticed the letter 'T' rapidly disappearing from our language? There is Chari'y and Chas'y in Emmerdale, and politicians rarely use the letter. Progress I suppose, innit?

You're talking like a wat.

I knew Chay would commen.

Drives me potty when I hear it...."I'm going to a par'y" instead of "party" and "wiv" instead of "With". It's just laziness!

I blame Eastenders

There is also the letter 'c'...

Up in the artic where it's cold.....

We are gerrin sum artic weather recently...arghhh

I disagree, folk still pronounce their T's

It's when it comes to folk minding their P's and Q's which is sadly lacking these days ....

And the letter W has become the letter R, as in "droring"
and "J Arthur Ranker" !

Tonker, how I agree with you about "droring".....that has annoyed me for years on art programmes on the telly! Even good artists like the late Tony Hart used to say "droring".

Southerners might be dropping their Ts but northerners make up for it wi' Tinternet an'T pie shop.

Brilliant, Kenee! xx.

When we were at school we used to say either going in to (missing the out)hall or going in't hall

Another letter very often omitted is g...goin' singin' bein' and many others. It is as Irene says, just laziness.

Does mi head in .

Hows things Alan ,not seen you for a while hope your keeping well

I wish there was a 'Like / Dislike button.. because I really LIKED your comment kenee.

Heaven forbid! THANK GOODNESS there is NOT a 'Like / Dislike' button!

A representative group of people, with opinions clustered around the centre, and only a few out-lying extremes, would be subject, (just as on FB) to recruitment into two clusters polarised at the extremes.

We get enough divisive posts as is, without magnifying differences by the FB effect whereby the strongly approved of or disapproved of opinion attracts responses which drown out any moderate voice.

Even Sir Tim Berners Lee has had to move from his advocacy of internet freedom, to recognise that it is in need of some protection from this malevolence.

As I've mentioned before:
There is no like button on here,
unless you're Tonker, who has his own 'laaiike' button.

Thank you for your replies, cheered me up. Kenee yours was brill. I am a Londoner (boo, hiss) married to a wonderful wiganer who I don't understand at times: chimley, keks,etc. and the massive family! Amazing thing is, the thought that proper english is spoken. Plus support for Wigan Warriors is epic in the family, no RL darn saff! But Rita in Corrie always gives me a laugh in 'th'ambulance'.
