    The child turned 13 and all her T's disappeared. We now have 'wa"ah' for 'water' etc. I'm pretending not to notice coz that'd make it worse

        I know she doesn't. She tried following me but complained I drown her feed in boring stuff.

        A small tangent, what's the deal with 'would of' and 'should of' etc. I think I've seen mostly brits using it

        Just people getting confused about the abbreviations for 'would have' and 'could have' - 'would've' and 'could've' - coz it sounds the same

        That's what I figured too, just unsure about the cause

        Also 'would of' etc renders the statement nonsensical does it not?

        Yep. But people say it & don't often write it so it just becomes the norm.

        Oh hell no. I'd put a stop to that immediately. Allowing it to continue is habit-forming. Nip it in the bud, Helen.

        I was raised with a career-limiting accent and later spent years working on my speech to correct it. Even in my 40's I still slip sometimes.
