Speech/quotation marks are an enduring cunt representing the bottomless pit of declining journalism.
Above link as an example, even the last bastion (chuckle) of the English language, the BBC is at it, low grade non journalists churning out probable AI powered stories absolutely full of speech marks.
Turning the blandest of non story into something supposedly newsworthy with the overuse of speech marks along the way, is it a mere reflection of the loss of English amongst English speakers or is it cunts thinking they are clever? I suspect both but leaning towards the former.
I also suspect saying “the former” would confuse em.

The BBC should show the example of how the English language should be spoken and written.
They don’t.
I was a horrible cunt as a school boy.
I preferred to spend my time in the local snooker hall rather than a classroom.
I think that it’s true to say that I was absent for more than half of the time that I should have spent learning.
But it amazes me on how bad the English language is spoken, and I am often appalled by how it is written.
I was watching a documentary recently on the BBC.
The presenter started talking about going north in the country that he was in, to where there was frozen ice.
I changed channels.
Cunts like him have nothing of interest to offer me.
Good morning.

I bumped into Remrats and shouted “you cunt” and he didn’t bat an eye.

I agree that this BBC article is a grammatically poor load of “wanky, old piss”; 0/10 for Oscar Edwards.
10
yes, im often awake all nigjt worrying about the use of “quotation marks”.
im surprised people dont riot in the streer.

Morning LL.

bag of shite

Use a fuckin’ laptop Mis …
All mobile phones are shite except to make/receive telephone calls (isn’t that what the were invented for?)
My phone is absolutely barred from going anywhere near the internet.
I find it strange that a decade or so ago, chavs were boasting about how big a screen they had on their laptop or PC. Now they seem quite happy to use a screen that is small enough to fit up my ass.

Cunts raving to each other about 110dB + concerts, they’ve ‘attended’ via an 11mm wide by x 3mm deep phone-speaker, or fucking ear buds of similar dimensions.
‘Aw man, the vid was 4K ; it was just like being there .. and you didn’t have to drive home afterwards’.
2nd-hand life experiences.
Cunts.

Can you imagine having a conversation with one of these arseholes:
“So like yeah “he” called me like yeah a like “cunt” yeah like. I was like “oh really” well you’re like a “far right bigot” like yeah, and erm so yeah, like.”
The whole time they’d be doing that shit with the two fingers to mimic the inverted commas.
As Christopher Hitchens said, if you can’t talk properly you can’t think properly. The BBC is self evidently a pot of inarticulate morons.
19
That’s inarticulate morons with a worrying trait of wanting to fuck little kids, while simultaneously sucking Muslim cock.
9
Quite so, the word “evil” can never be over used in reference to BBC cunts. Apologies for the inverted commas, I shall wash my mouth out with Jimmy Savile’s drippings
7
The incorrect use of punctuation mark’s infuriate’s me.
Full stop.

Street market purveyors of fruit and vegetables are the worst offenders, GT.
Plum’s, orange’s, etc.
I find myself filled with an overwhelming compulsion to tip the contents of their stalls over.

I think I may have seen the worst abuse of the floating apostrophe that I’ve ever witnessed this very day.
On a local news/info/discussion site someone wrote:
What the he’ll is going on?
I shit you not.
6
The yanks can upset one further. Period.
3
People who ignore using the apostrophe annoy me. After using it briefly on whatever device they are communicating on, it will automatically do it for them after a while.
6
i dont use apostrophies Sammy.
theyre full of female hormones.
knew a bloke used em all the time an now hes a 38 double D cup an sits down for a piss.
14
What a shame, Mis.
5
I think misogynist have too many female hormones to cover up their puffery. They need to come out of it and be a philogynist like myself.
5
I do appreciate it when you call other men blokes like me.

All punctuation is far-right, Rodney is looking to ban all under 16s from using it after 8 o’clock..

At my school splitting an infinitive earned you a clip round the ear.

As did ending a sentence with a preposition!
8
True.
5
Me too. I was taught never to use a preposition to end a sentence with.

Being grammatically correct sometimes sounds odd though Geordie. You may hear someone say;
This is something I would not put up with.
Correctly this would be;
This is something up with which I would not put.
Best to say;
This is something I would not tolerate.

Their aint harf sum lerned “cunt’s” on hear:

Does this mean we have been given “Carte Blanche” to correct everyone’s speech.

You forgot the question mark Sammy. Naughty boy.

Thought that was optional, arfurbrain ?

Apropos Mr. Morgan, I think he is a bit of a cunt for growing fucking Xmas trees. Fuck Xmas, especially in June.
5
Yes, I noticed that WC, along with keeping reindeer.
What’s he running, a farm or a fucking Christmas amusement park?
5
I fucking despise it, but I understand why newspaper website articles are written like this.
The longer it takes to get to the actual core of the story, the more seconds you’ve been viewing and the more ads have been scrolled past.
But you’d think the BBC, despite all its well publicised faults, would be slightly above such cheap journalism.
They bang on about their editorial standards, but I often wonder if anyone actually edits at all.
In fact, I’d go as far as to say I’ve been “blindsided”.
Or I would if I knew what the fuck it meant.
5
They are only ever inverted at the beginning of the quotation, just like the Spanish ¿ & ?
1
It would be interesting to find out if any of you have that irritating inflection in your speech. I think we blame the yanks for this, besides that other irritation of replacing the T for a D.
6
In Spanish a statement is almost always the same as a question.
The difference when talking is a rising intonation to indicate a question.
This can’t be achieved in writing so…..
You use quotation marks (statement).
¿You use quotation marks? (question)
There is no real reason to start the written question with the word do…
Do you use quotation marks?

Punctuation❓ the kids are now more in danger of puncture wounds and would be better learning life skills 😩 more appropriately self defence 👊🥊🥋 against our replacements who don’t bother with grammar and prefer 🔪 rather than dialogue..!?’#*-(:

I ra often a wondered a why a da Italians speaka like a dis. Is this close to what I mean ? Is it anything to do with “Drinka pinta milka day”.
5
Most Italian words end in a vowel Sammy, so their brains are hard wired to close each word with a vowel even when speaking another language.
Meloni donna mia il horno.

In how many countries could you say
“I would love to shag our PM”

I’d definitely like a go on Ms Meloni

It’s a well known fact that for any position at the BBC above toilet cleaner, you must have a university degree.
In which case, Oscars parents must be wondering what happened with his expensive education and perhaps would be wanting their money back after reading that.
It’s absolutely diabolical.
7
Degrees in shite subjects like Sociology or Women’s Studies. Not bragging, but I’ve got a Master’s in Travel and Tourism from Lunn Poly.
10
They do it I case someone complains about what’s been written, so they can say “it wasn’t us, we were quoting”.
Ps, If the heads had still been on the cannabis plants then likely as not nothing would have been said.
5
Are the BBC less likely to employ blacks if they suffer from vitiligo, than fully blown darkles ?
6
Poncey twats that make air quotation marks piss me off as do cunts who say “Absolutely” when “Yes” will suffice,
“Wankers”.
3
Nowadays, most cunts don’t bother with shit like punctuation or correct spelling. It’s for grammar Nazis, innit. The only thing they read is the shit on their mobile phones. The UK is a fucking cesspit fit only for ignoramuses. Cunts.
Good morning, everyone.

That`s “ignorami”, 20000.

Ignoramoids?

“Lol!”

Starmzy has announced a ban on social media for under 16’s ….. next year.
3
He says he is “acting with haste”. (Pun intended as per original cunting).
🐌
3
Maybe I’m being a bit thick, but banning under 16s from social media and then giving them the ability to vote at 16 doesn’t sound like the vote winner the Starmführer was hoping for.
Teenagers are a vindictive bunch.
13
The very group Starmer is targeting is the one most likely to have the ability to circumvent his restrictions. If I had a fourteen year old who couldn’t get round it in short order I’d be ashamed.
6
Indeed AB.
But at least it gives our enormously heterosexuâl Prime Minister the reason he’s been looking for to bring in digital ID,amongst other repressive features.
Apparently there are no limits to state control.
Time will tell,fuck him and his slimy minions.
Oven.
10
Is he going to increase the number of plod sat in darkened rooms monitoring under 16s for illicit social media activity?
No, thought not, so how the fuck does he plan to enforce such a ban?
It’s just bandwagon jumping, self-serving lip music, the ineffectual cunt.
8
This calls for DIGRESSION time.
I think the authorities at the World Cup should clamp down on players who shouldn’t be playing for other countries if not born there and I don’t mean living in the country for five fucking minutes.
8
I think footballers with tattoos should be banned from playing in the World Cup.
On that basis I might get picked for England.
7
The reason why darkles are riddled with tattoos is because they cost half the price due to not being able to make them out besides having hidden content that shouldn’t be there and the thick cunts also don’t realise all the ink used, slows them down.
3
I much prefer the use of speech bubbles which can still be seen in today’s Beano.
10
Weed trimmings are by their very nature, biodegradable.
Why bother stuffing it into black bags, when it could have just been slung into a hedgerow, where nobody would have noticed.
5
An excellent contribution to the cunting, Odin.
Whilst we`re on the subject, slugs, whilst a bit squidgy, are beneficial.
🐌(<– slug with house).

Not when they’re having a field day on your illegal crops though, Sam.

I was once accussed of bad grammar.
I know!
but I had dangling modifiers at the time.
Not sure what his issue was?
probably one of those ” confused homophones” you hear about on the news.

According to Mucky Ange she was a grammar at 37.
8
‘Loook. Am telllin yers. As woz a grammar at thirty sevens.’

I wonder if Dirty Ange has inverted (hairy) nipples…(red hairs, obviously, same as around her growler and her dirty flag of Japan 🇯🇵)

What I hate is cunts who wiggle their fingers, pretending their digits are speech marks. I had a teacher at school. She was a right fucking bastard, and when she was bollocking someone (usually for nothing), the bitch would do that. I can see her now, ‘I thought you were a nice boy’ with waggling fingers for the nice boy bit. She actually put the entire class in detention (for something totally minor and daft). But, get this. The harridan actually ordered one lad to take part in the detention, but he was off ill when the detention was ordered. He wasn’t even there when the ‘offence’ was committed. Of course, I got the wiggling fingers and tantrum treatment, when I piped up and said the lad was totally innocent. And her putting him in detention was like sentencing a man for being at a crime when he wasn’t even there. Needless to say, the witch went apeshit. More wiggling fingers and shouting. What a prize fucking cunt she was. Mrs fucking Lawson was her name.
