My dd constantly uses the word "like" multiple times in sentences, it's slowly driving me insane. Iv asked her so many times to not use the word unless it's actually needed in the sentence. To make matters worse she never ever stops talking so we must here "like" a thousand times a day. So aibu to either charge her 10p for every time she says it, or gag her? Is this something that's happening with most kids of today? Hmm

"Pre-Madonna" is brilliant. Isn't that a measure of the development of pop music?

Excuse me! You can use Welshisms and still be well-spoken and well educated!
They are part of the rich tapestry of language, they aren't people using the "wrong" word, as in "of" instead of "have"
They add to the gaiety of nations too!
We love our Wenglish yer, we do and if you do have a go we will be over there in a minute to put you straight, butt!!
