Even as a common man with a colloquial accent, I don’t like my news readers to speak with laziness or colloquialisms. I want someone well spoken reading the news.Beth Rigby on Sky News is obviously an intelligent woman and is a good reporter/interviewer but her slovenly use of English gets on my nerves to the point where I just can't listen to her any more and have to switch to another news channel. She drops the 'g' on every word with 'ing' in it, Thinkin, discussing, testin, waitin, meaninful, etc. I can just about put up with her saying things like battew (battle) and hospitaw but not dropping g like that.
If I was the guy on the other end Id hang up. Cant stand being on speaker, ive hung up mid sentance with family members before, as soon as I realised I was on speaker. Now they know better.People walking around having a conversation on facetime, with the other party on speaker! So inconsiderate, rude and unnecessary!

Ha ha ! My girlfriend can't stand her for exactly thst reason. I can't watch her because she looks like a bloke.
She's a classic example of putting lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig.

Well they do say a problem shared is a problem halved. But it could have been worse , if it had been your ex who was sat in the back of the car getting a lift to the pub with her new boyfriend.I had a horrific experience of that, years ago when I was in a bad place over an ex I was talking to my mum and dad on bluetooth as they were driving pouring my heart out and heard a cough. I said 'who is that'and mum said óh we are just taking Jacqui and John to the pub'!
Jacqui and John had been listening to every word I had said. I was livid!

The way they right is often a better baromoter of intelligencePeople who think the way you speak is any sign of intelligence bug me.
