    I did hear of a child who used to ask for her "f***ing knife" - the parents had to teach her to say "knife and fork" instead. Maybe lorry is a better word than truck right now?

    I am going to be such a bad mummy about this - my DH is already mad at me because I tell him that I can't understand him unless he speaks English to me - so Americanisations are out, saying "somefing" instead of "something" is out... I think I'm just mean. But mean with good elocution!

    LOL.. I'm the same! My pet hates are somethink and anythink.. and I had when people say it's the letter Haytch. Ugh.

    My DH is ready for the elocution lessons with Tallon.. LOL. I must have got it from my dad.. he wanted us to speak properly and pronounce words correctly. (Must be a pommy thing? )

    But I've known of a kid that used to say fruck for truck. That was funny enough.. let alone them using the actual word!

    ETA: LOL.. Ryn - My dad came from Sussex!
