Angry Why can't the English speak b****y English?

I was listening to the radio this morning and Duncan James (ex Blue) was standing in for a holidaying DJ. He asked people to text in about something and after a while thanked everybody for the huge number of "textses".
Another one that really annoys me is when people use the word "breakfastses"!!!! There's no such bloody word!!!!!

I think some foreign people speak better English than a lot of our natives!

You are right Sal they can't speak proper like what I do I hate buer[butter],waer[water].Sometimes I think there is no T in the english language.I do think that a lot of dialects are going out now, where I originate from Stoke on Trent their language was awful,the old phrase of 'can you kick a ball aginst a wall,head it with your head and burst it' used to come out like this...........Cost kick a bo agin a wo,yed with yer ead and bost it'.

Go on lets take over this thread with bad language [not 4 letter words]

In the North where I live the fink word does'nt seem a problem I have heard it more on TV in shows like Eastenders,now there is a platform for misuse of the English language.
