We still speak lots the original language and pronunciations. Geordie is not just an accent its a ancient language.

'Bass' (musical instrument) pronounced 'Base'. Bass (fish) pronounced 'Bass'. Basswood pronounced 'Basswood' not 'Basewood'

According to Apostrophe, the Greek goddess of punctuation, it's 'pedants[b]'[/b] corner'...

In defence of pedants, most of them (OK, us) just love language as much as music and seeing the wrong word hurts just like hearing a bum note.

"It's an ancient language". And it isn't, it's just got more Viking in it than other English dialects.

And If you are going to be a real pedant it would be[b] and pronunciation,[/b] not pronunciations.

Ford (brand) + Fiesta (model) = Ford Fiesta.
Reliant (brand) + Robin (model) = Robin Reliant.

As a former Reliant owner, this drives me nuts. As does referring to Del boy's van as such. It was a Regal III, ffs...

It isn't a Robin Reliant, it's a Reliant Robin. Just because Jasper Carrott called it a Robin Reliant doesn't mean that it's true.

SuperVan III, Shirley? A drummer mate (who only had a bike license) had one in the 80s, and that's what his said on the back. Bloody terrifying, it was.
