Having a West Yorkshire accent doesn't make someone 'common.' Let me guess, you're a Southerner?

Don't believe the hype.

Not being able to speak proper English (The Queens English) is being common. Wether your from East London or Manchester, its common. You don't need to sound like you have a stick up your arse to pronounce words correctly. 'Nuff said.

Bollocks. It's called slang. Plenty of people can speak it properly, but they choose not to. Plus the queen is more German than English, she can't tell us how to speak at all.

Its just lazy though. Fair enough, you can't help your accent, but you can refrain from using made up words

And where are you from then?

Edit: Read your location. Do they not have slang there?

Slang is part of the language of an area. Just because it may not be in a dictionary doesn't make it not a word. If people understand it then surely it is a word?

Why should people have to pronounce words 'correctly' when people understand them while using their slang?

Only someone who speaks 'Queens English' would think of it as superior. Personally I much prefer a good accent and slang.
