The British or at least the English used to love their tea but increasingly the letter T is disappearing from our spoken language.
How many ads or voice overs do we get on tv now which talk of “nin’ee nine pea” and the like?
It was irritating enough when working class white boys started imitating Detroit or Chicago street talk but now it is everywhere.
I was listening to university (or should that be univers’i’ee) students and they were all missin’ Ts from words such as “commun’i’ee”. As well as peppering their sentences with totally unnecessary “likes”. These are supposed to be the future elite.
As well as removing Ts modern talk adds Rs where they don’t belong for example “arksk” instead of “ask” as in “I am arksking you a question.”
To which my response is “Well I’m not answering until you ask it properly and not like some pretend American gangsta.”
These people know that T exists because they (constantly) exclaim “init”. So why don’t they use it to pronounce words properly? Cos they is fick or summin’?
