Good morning, @Shazi @Dogman @Kesa @Hope3 @bha @Hope4 @Fluffy
@Tintin @Minch
If any of you have read my previous posts you will know that I watch an enormous amount of television current affairs. I'm just wondering if anyone else is annoyed by the misuse of English by presenters and reporters eg. Gunna instead of going to, Nelly instead of nearly, Gel instead of girl.....
Gotta instead of got to?
GRRRR... 🤪

I'm absolutely guilty in my own informal writing of using things like 'gunna'
I live in an Indigenous Community, and love to write how I sound when I talk.
Of course I can say (and write) 'going to' but I prefer not to be so perfect.
However...
I'm a stickler for grammar and spelling in more formal writing
