English As She Is Spoke

I understand that English is a changing language. I appreciate and approve of the fact that we no longer speak the same language as Chaucer, Shakespeare or even Dickens.

But some of the “English” used in comments on this site depress me a lot. It seems there is a large and growing subsection of British society that prides itself on speaking and writing the most unintelligible language possible.

However, it seems that it could be a lot worse. My site isn’t frequented by too many of these people. Parts of the BBC web site are.
