Have you never heard people talking like that? It’s so incredibly bad.
Even better is the mammy types “Ah he loves he’s tayto does lil deco”
Eliot Rosewater
Language, eh?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cool_Hand_Lucan
They know to make the “i” lowercase in iPhone but yet think that “hes” is “his”.
What a time to be alive.
Tish Mahorey
Yeah let’s mock the lower orders. It’s a great sport for the smug middle classes.
Be thankful you have a decent level of English instead of sneering at those who don’t.

MoyestWithExcitement
You mean like you mocked the ‘tattooed scummers in tracksuits’ who like McGregor?
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
What are the rules? It’s ok to sneer at the rich, but not the poor?
I find it hard to keep up.
I like to sneer at everyone, as I’m a total geebag.
Optimus Grime
Yes I find myself in today’s fast paced world and with a busy family life I don’t have time to discriminate so I just hate everyone
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
An equal opportunities hater, as it were.
forfeckssake
They’d say “crips”. People from Dublin don’t call them Taytos.
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
That’s not a great joke, in fairness.
On The Buses
Perplexing.
Cup of tea anyone?
Is that a Pokemon joke?
Maybe the guard working on an investigation into a child pornography ring? did he throw the phone to get the luas driver to stop? So many questions? So little answers.
Harry Molloy
Think Gemma O’Doherty has been working on that one
Eamonn Clancy
Jaysus, Maser’s letting his work slip.
Avon Barksdale
That’s no reason to waste a phone
DaithiG
It was an iPhone 3G and he has an upgrade plan, so he’ll get a 6S on the cheap now.
Illuminati16
Bleedin howiyas can’t speak English…
Tish Mahorey
Plenty of so-called ‘respectable’ kids from Foxrock can’t speak it either. They speak American English and mispronounce their words all the time.
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
Droiving rind the rindabite.
DrainBamaged
Wow you’re so passionate about this particular crusade. Hah
Martin Heavy-Guy
Why wouldn’t Tish be passionate about this?
The ridiculous comments that come out on Broadsheet sometimes…Yes, it’s a middle-class readership, but you expect with the content that people are open enough to accept their privilege and be thankful for it.
You see people on here in other stories crying out for Syrian refugees to get safe passage to Europe (which they should) or Black Lives Matter advocates (which is great), while simultaneously having a go at poor people in Ireland.
Sheik Yahbouti
Plus boggers condescending to Dubliners about their standard of English :-)
Pish Mahorey
Tish is a total spoofer. Constantly contradicting himself from thread to thread. probably one of the BS lads trolling. He’s passionate about nothing
itsonlyme
I’ve just realised that, tish mahorey is tish instead of trish
DaithiG
You don’t have to be poor to have bad grammar.
Now who’s generalising?
Martin Heavy-Guy
@Daithi – I’m not. The comments are (calling folk ‘howiyes’ etc.). I wouldn’t be so bothered if it was just little digs about bad spelling, but it’s the way it’s delivered.
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
Holloween. Loads of people say that. And most Irish people pronounce the h in Thai and Thailand.
Neilo
And the ‘h’ in Brown Thomas where I buy all my white privilege gear.
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
And the h in thyme. And Thames.
It’s a travesty.
Neilo
I think you’ll find that’s a thravesty, Andyourpoint…
Andyourpointiswhatexactly?
Dammit! I thought that JUST as I pressed ‘post comment’!!
Neilo
Oh, you’ll be back – bigger, better and badder than before :)
He’s as opposed to his? FFS, that’s scandalous.

Then why don’t we pronounce the ‘h’ in “three”?
I get a tonne of crap from people here about it.
What the hell does it mean?
I’m bizarrely intrigued!
I like the use of an apostrophe, commendable colloquial script indeed, and all he’s own work too.
Literacy levels are dropping to a very low level, and the Government continue to make cuts in the Education system.

oooh clever!
I’m genuinely delighted with myself, like a total poindexter.

Or maybe just the Queens shilling.
