Re: Alex Scott on Match of the Day

I think that the glottal stop (or perhaps the glo'al stop) was a feature of Estuarese English (i.e. London and environs) and seems to have expanded nationwide. As for Aussie accents in 'Neighbours' being responsible for the insertion of a question mark (rather than just the raised inflection in the spoken word), that seems a tad fanciful to me. More people have watched Coronation Street and over a longer period but it doesn't seem to have left a national linguistic impression of any kind: nowt really :hide:

Nieghbours had a attracted a far younger demographic than Coronation Street.

I bet your favourite play is Pygmalion and you have My Fair Lady on loop!

Doesn’t everyone just record MOTD, and fast forward through all the drivel from the “experts” ? :shrug:

One of the worst is Danny Gabbidon who seems completely unable to say a 't'. My two favourites -
Why Harlane - White Hart Lane
Opportunee - opportunity
Difference is he tends to know what he's talking about.

He sometimes goes a whole sentence without just vowel sounds - no consonants, it's so bad it's funny..

I prefer Mark Chapman on MOTD 2 but I still record it and fast forward I.
