the letter A is a small sound. why then do otherwise well spoken people decide to make it into a big important word. Newsreaders state ‘Ai row broke out’ or ‘There is ‘Ai long wait’
For goodness sake, they sound as if they are just learning the language and haven’t got it quite right. I say this because it’s how small children say ‘A’ when reading aloud. When I was reading my Janet and John book at primary school I would most certainly been corrected had I read ‘A’ instead of ‘Uh’
What’s the matter with ‘em? It’s quite a new thing and sounds strained to me as it interrupts the flow of the sentence
I have more, but as I’m new here I’ll shut up for now I case I sound TOO pedantic.
Oh, incidentally,
Hello everyone.
