To fight DD's English accent.

[NicknameTaken]

I'm Irish, DD (2.10) is growing up in England. She won't sound like me, I accept that. But ho' wa'uh for "hot water"? I'm going to have to start beating her till she says it properly, it's clearly the only possible response.

My mum is from Up Norff, and you can tell when we're going to visit her family... Her accent edges closer towards Scouse as we travel up the M4

She has tried desperate for years to get us to say "bath" instead of "barth", "grass" instead of "grarse", "glass" instead of "glarse"... Fighting a loosing battle

OP, YADNBU. Dropped letters in words is common infuriating.

My MIL adds letters eg. Garding for garden, kitching for kitchen. It is tres refined, you see.
