Blossoming
I love hearing different regional accents and dialects, there are some splendid words and sayings out there.
I listen to a lot of audiobooks, Roman history being a favourite subject. One thing that does annoy me is when narrators have not bothered to do any research beforehand and mispronounce the names of historical characters. Cicero is a real bugbear! I do my best to ignore it, and I appreciate that people don’t learn Latin nowadays, but my inner self is still screaming “It’s Kikero” ?
Talking about Latin, both grandchildren did it at school, now my friends daughter is teaching herself this language. I did a course a few years ago, with a very talented lady, an expert on Lincolnshire dialect. Very academic she was told if she wanted to get on in University, she would have to learn to speak the Queens English‘, as none would understand her. So in her words ˋ I had to learn another language‘.
