Why didn't they put the 'r' they pronounce in 'law' or 'idea' right in the word? Seriously, I do like listening to BBC reports but this makes me cringe every time.
Because of the degradation of standards with each passing generation.
Old and proper pronunciation and diction are being shoved to the wayside for more "Modern" conceptualized speech and syntax.
While the English may have invented English, it doesn't mean they are any less susceptible to the ever constant turning wheel of time.
I don't mind if they said it properly. Something like ad-vert-is-ment vs. adver-tis-ment is debatable, but at least with aluminum they spell it the way they say it. They invented the damn language, they should say it the way it's spelled, and I've never seen an 'r' in law.
