[quote=APAULT ,29396]I agree with you GRIZ326.. the standard of English has deteriorated - regional and international accents are great. I have no problem with clear US English but it seems increasing hard to find. It seems to me that most US TV presenters are being paid by how fast they can get through their segment! There is a mistaken belief that that fast speach is exciting speach. It just ain't so!'Goodness glacious me, Sir' but I can understand Indian English (and Chinglish) more readily than American as it is presented on TV. My cxollege students understand real English TV announcers and movies but struggle with American.Yes, English is a living language, but if two or more versions change in different ways we cease to have communication. American is fast becoming a language in its own right, so lets not call it English! (Me prejudiced? Never!)[/quote]
