Dropping her T’s

We are in the Midlands in a rural county. I don’t regularly hear my friends or friends children speak that way so it’s not necessarily a regional thing or common to the area.

I guess I do expect the teachers to correct them, she speaks properly and at the end of the day she’s there to guide them and teach them. It doesn’t need to be a big deal or a telling off, just guidance. Like when you repeat back the correct version of a word to a toddler to help them learn to talk properly. At 5 my daughter is still only young and I do expect her teacher to do this.

@nevernotmaybe , you're right. It's fine to call dogs woof-woofs and cows moo-moos. Anyone disagreeing is obviously a complete snob.

Yep, good riddance. Irritating is a bloody understatement to describe the posts you write.

Yes, I find it annoying when someone is completely correct and I have no comeback of any kind but wish I had. I find that shutting up at that point is best, but sorry you found the fact that I was completely correct so insufferable you couldn't help yourself.

Also, thank you for drawing attention to my post, I do hope people keep quoting me as I very much want my post to be easy to find, and preferably one of the last comments on the thread :)

@PaxAeterna , is it bollocks.

@PaxAeterna , I have not expressed any admiration for RP. You are making things up.

@PaxAeterna , @MasterBeth , I didn't say anything about 'proper accent'. The King's English generally means correct usage and grammar.

I find the hysterical burbling of those who have nothing of any relevance to add reasonably amusing, and clearly I can easily continue to swat these mosquitoes away ad nauseam.

However, I simply don't have the time to keep responding to these yappy ankle biters, so I will have to go for now. If I have the time, and the inclination, I may return later to put them back in their place.

So bye for now, cheers for the chuckles and remember - if you agree with the OP's opinion on this topic, you are ill educated and parochial. If you continue to double down after being properly schooled you are also small minded and ignorant. Hope this helps :)

I'm sorry my facts got your knickers in a knot 😅 (I'm not sorry at all, actually and find your attemped self-righteous condescending snobbery quite hilarious 😂)

Thanks heaps for quoting me and making sure my post remains at the end of the thread though - I do want that to continue.

I would prefer my post remains as one of the last ones on the thread since I articulately, effectively and quite correctly pointed out that the attempted snobbery of the OP is so much ridiculous burbling.

Oh dear, I'm sorry you think standard, common language is pompous and OTT, but your lack of education is really not my concern, nor is your reverse snobbery about perfectly standard language.

Why for the love of life do you keep using such OTT pompous sounding language? It makes you sound like a bit of a snob (oh, the irony of your post in pointing out snobbery...)

I'm sorry my facts got your knickers in a knot 😅 (I'm not sorry at all, actually and find your attemped self-righteous condescending snobbery quite hilarious 😂) Then why say it?

I think this is one of the most condescending posts I’ve ever read on MN! What a load of snobby, self-righteous waffle!!
