although i am a stickler for the english written word, i truly love all of the mother tongues dialects regardless of how "improper" the use of words are
after all where would we be without "cockney patter", "irish lilt", "liverpools nasaly drawl" of which i am part of or "scottish brogue" after all this is what australias language is based upon.
vive le difference!
interestingly enough that amazing programme "the story of english"
they attribute liverpools nasally tone from the people, maily irish, constantly having the common cold and the sniffles!
