Blindly believing what was taught in primary or even high school isn't a good idea.

Worth finding out if it is right or not. Quite often it isn't.

It's the initiative to check if it's right or not that's more important than the final answer.

Another phonetic here When I worked in a call centre I used to take the piss out of the foreign people who really couldn't grasp the letters I was saying, so I'd say Q for cucumber, And N for gnome

PS - I'm not being a cunt for no reason - the point I'm trying to make is that no matter where you feel you are on the 'proper English' scale (to include spelling, punctuation, grammar and pronunciation), there will always be someone who falls below your standards, and you yourself will fall below someone else's standards at some point.

Hope that clears up why I've been more of a twat than usual in this thread (or less, depending on your opinion of me!)

Your annoyance is aitch/haitch, but even if you think you've attained a mastery of 'teh Englands' you probably say something at least once a day that provokes someone else's language OCD. The moral of the story is: if you could understand what they meant, it's not worth getting annoyed about. Have a nice day!

For some reason, I am unable to pronounce my th's. As hard as I try all I can say is f.

My wife is a teacher, and she can't get me to say it. It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to say it, but I can't.

Think it's a speech therapist you need and not a teacher.

I used to say sckhnoopy instead of snoopy. Few days off school over a period of weeks to a speech therapist cured it
