I actually HATE the fact that we are all starting to use the word 'butt!'

As an English teacher I do not like 'Americanisms' entering our language. Just my opinion!

Al.

P.S. I like EVERYTHING about Hanna!

i totaly agree they should be banned on this ENGLISH FORUM americanisms i mean, they should be taught proper english and the slang versions [what u think me ol cock]

even MRS T tells me her friends say to her [how you understand your husband he talks so much slang ] the thing is thats what they are going to hear when they do come to the uk

we dont all talk with a plumb in our mouths, or speak the queens english

IMO though, it is wonderful to hear English spoken correctly.
I get great pleasure listening to the very funny Henry Blofeld commentating on the cricket. He makes me chuckle and smile so much.

and from Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Blofeld

Blofeld's cricket commentary is celebrated for his plummy voice and his idiosyncratic mention of superfluous details, including cranes, pigeons, buses, aeroplanes and helicopters that happen to be passing by.[5] He is also known to talk about the food on offer, in particular cakes, for extended periods of time after the tea and lunch breaks with occasional interruptions of the situation on the field. He also uses the phrase "my dear old thing", or variants thereof, to address fellow commentators and guests.

He frequently makes errors, for example failing to identify players correctly (one example was calling the England spinner Monty Panesar "Monty Python", and paceman Ryan Sidebottom "Ryan Stringfellow"), and is quite often lost for words in the more exciting passages of play. This doesn't detract from the love that many loyal listeners to Test Match Special the world over have for him, demonstrated in the Test against Pakistan at Headingley in 1996 when a flat overlooking the ground was draped with a huge banner proclaiming "Henry Blofeld is God" [6].

MRS T gets many comments of ooo your english is very good do you work in an office ,shop air hostess ??? where was you educated now thats not bad for someone [and i know she will not mind me saying this ] was not educated or at least did not have much of an education poor no money no family to pay
