Their I was thinking that the general standard of written English and grammar was failing on this forum, but I was wrong, people are just aspiring the the high levels of English from the BBC. I have noticed a distinct drop in good English on the BBC and there getting worse! Theirs no hope!
Unfortunately, I am not loving it, come on BBC, you can do better than this.

No, BBC Wales is based at Broadcasting House in Llandaff, Cardiff.

BTW, I don't think it's very polite to pull people up because of small mistakes which they make to their second language.

Be careful! Would you be so quick to critisize Samuel L. Jackson for using the "N" word?

So why are you critisizing a Welshman regarding the use of English, even though I don't speak Welsh now I was top of the school many years ago. More bilingual than a first language. I also know that they speak a different language down south as a family member wrote some very well received language books for learning Welsh, but unfortunately they were geared for South Wales as the author is from Aberystwyth.

I think the relevance here is that you haven't thunk!

Explain the relevance of the video then. English prick giving an English pronunciation lesson to a German. That's funny, but how has it any relevance to a Welshman critisizing another Welshman. I can see that Ernie_Lynch made an incorrect assumption that I'm English (I think that's what she did). Easy to do.

You appear to have an opinion on it.

Fair enough, so I still don't see the relevance of the video and I don't know why you felt you had to call me a prick.
