Different groups of people are expressing themselves with vastly different
grasp of English.
One example the Sun reader is not likely to use words in the way the Telegraph uses them.
Mirror and Guardian readers...likewise.
It is not a question of right or wrong; more a question of different ways of expressing ourselves.
This may come mainly from a family backgrounf rather than a school background
Because by the time the child reaches compulsory schooling the die may have been cast as to the way they speak.
I would not mention this if the difference was MINOR...buty it is vast. And can become obvious among Mumsnetters
What can be done? You tell me.
