Can't stand Ferdinand's juvenile street talk Sh!t bro .....grow up you plank.
Re: Wan-Bissaka vs McNeil With Rio Ferdinand
Cannot express how much I absolutely do not want to make this thread political, tim, but that is respectability politics right there. Let me digress. People who speak with our accent (assuming you're from the north yourself) are often denied a kind of respect and consideration of viewpoint which is afforded without condition to a posh arsehole saying, in practical terms, the exact same thing in a fashion which is considered by our culture to be less coarse. A grand keynote speech, for instance, would be better received if delivered in a southern accent, with all the gesture and intonation expected by a British public conditioned to feel more comfortable being spoken down to by posh folks, than if word-for-word delivered in a northern, Scottish or Welsh accent. Extreme example: some toffee nosed posh boy with his classics degree invoking Cicero to make someone feel small, when flat-out calling someone a f.ucking w@nker would have had the same practical effect. Generally speaking, one line of attack might considered an intelligent polemic, the other a vulgar slur. But the end result is the same. One arsehole feels big, the other is made to feel small.
The chauvinism and snobbery you're showing towards Ferdinand's vernacular is but a different flavour of the brand of snobbery which comparatively presses down folk with our accent and denies them the kind of opportunities in life that more 'polished' people are granted, even if those with more polish are (as they sometimes turn out to be) morons, psychopaths and chancers. I know Ferdinand has done well for himself and he almost certainly won't care for your opinion, or mine, or anyone's for that matter, but in general, at the risk of sounding like an overbearingly didactic preacher, you should consider if your behaviour and attitudes are entrenching a type of classist snobbery. Sure, he talks differently to us, but by saying 'STOP', or expressing discontent or annoyance tantamount to it, you're telling him to get in a box - the same kind of box we're effectively told to get into when we're told we're not good enough because we say 'reyt' and 'nowt'. We're given patronising platitudes like "they're honest" and "they're nice and friendly up north", "salt of the earth". But deviate from the stereotype for just one second any you're an aggressive, uncultured pleb, or even a chav. A lot of people are asking for judgement on account of their behaviour, sure, but don't ever judge a person by their language.

I interpreted that as being the two best players of the game at our club as I thought Rio responded by saying he’d have to get them on board, as in , invite them to play.

Load of rubbish, if he wanted to speak English properly, he has enough money to learn. He wants to talk the way he does because he thinks it keeps him in touch with where he’s from and the people he was friends with.Spiral wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 12:53 amCannot express how much I absolutely do not want to make this thread political, tim, but that is respectability politics right there.

Spiral is completely correct, sadly, Heathclaret is wrong. The beauty of the English language is its ability to evolve. We don't have people saying words like thee and thou anymore. No longer do people put your obedient servant at the end of official letters. The list is as they say endless.
But you do get people adapting their language to suit or fit an occasion. Nothing wrong with that. In this instance it will put the two young players at their ease. Init.

Perhaps we just disagree. I understand that language evolves, but to say “bruv” and “innit” and other atrocities doesn’t enhance our beautiful language, it destroys it.
I’ve changed my mind, happily, you are wrong.

Re: Wan-Bissaka vs McNeil With Rio Ferdinand
Yeah all this “gangsta” talk is more than a little tiring. It’s not natural like an accent is natural - it’s forced, false and juvenile. When delivered by a middle aged man it’s just sad.
And for the record “your obedient servant” IS still used today....

Yes..it's the juvenile aspect of it. Dialect is surely a different thing regards words like thee and thou. To the programme it was good to see how grounded Dwight was at his parents place.yes he's probably got a posh House somewhere.But he seems very grounded.

It's the same deliberate thing in a lot of cases. There's a young lass doing voice-overs on Channel 4 who deliberately and sometimes inconsistently drops het "t"s - oooe, missus - and her artificiality grates just as much as the gangsta crap or folk beginning any sentence or response to a question with "so".
As someone mentioned earlier, the English language is evolving and adapting constantly either at local level or worldwide. Some linguistic fads stick, others fade but race doesn't or shouldn't come into it.

Once you wouldn’t have been anywhere near broadcasting if you couldn’t speak properly or at least clearly. It seems to be the in thing for radio and tv to give them coverage now. I can’t understand half the boxers on the radio so I just turn over.

Re: Wan-Bissaka vs McNeil With Rio Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinard has reinvented himself .... He won't want us to remember the 4 driving bans, the ban for missing drug tests, the 10 affairs he allegedly had whilst married, the sex video taken in Ayia Napa, swearing at and kicking a female steward at Chelsea, and the heavy fines for his social media posts .... as for the accent, don't get me started ... mind you, it winds me off the clock when people say " Haitch " instead of H ..

RP / “The Queens English” sounds pretty ridiculous to my ears, unless it’s coming from someone in a period drama or something. It’s certainly no more perfect than any regional dialect, or even a more cultural one like we’re discussing.
Language is just a tool to impart meaning, and a word like “innit” for example, is a very succinct and efficient way of imparting quite a bit of meaning in two short syllables.
Oh, and just for the record, I haven’t suggested you, or anyone else, is a racist (on this thread, at least).
