'was' or 'were'

People that say 'pacific' when they mean 'specific' and those that say 'aks' instead of 'ask'.

 

Yorkshire folk who say 'what do they call him?' when enquiring as to someone's name and that whole "when are you in work?" followed with "nine while five" thing.

 

Grrr....

There's always been a variety of geographical flavor in the day to day use of the English language... but the stuff that really enrages me is the Chavesque Can't be bothered attitude... I'm fairly sure they think its kwl 2 B Fik init...

 

IMO - The countries gone to the dogs :( I think it's time for a nationwide cull. We can start with anyone who wears burberry baseball caps indoors :p

People in Chesterfield say "rate" when they mean really for example "last night was rate good" odd but true :)
I think it's the accent which makes it "rate". What they are saying is "last night was right good".

 

Dialects and accents are a good thing, mun (I'm Welsh, see).
