Alot of the time it is nothing to do with Education its about sounding cool around your mates. My friends daughter who says tomorra instead of tomorrow, when around her grandparents says tomorrow as she knows they hate it and she would not get as many treats. She only speaks like it when she is around her little friends, she returns to normal speech at the drop of a hat. Nothing to do with her education as she was privately educated in a very, very good school.

We are not all educated to the same standard and so, we should not be judged by people who are educated to a higher standard.Thats their good fortune, and does not make them superior to the rest of us.

I absolutely hate my friends daughter saying tomorra. I was always under the impression it was pronounced Tomorrow.

Don't forget to add the split infinitive and the double negative to the list!

why does a youngster refer to something that they don't like such as a pair of trainers, call them gay? I don't understand that at all. Claire
