Why can't Liverpudlians speak correct English?.?

Question

There are various accents in the UK but these people speak utter nonsense and sound awful. Where did this hideous babble and awful tone originate? Could they not begin again starting with... a telephone box is not a toilet and litter bin not the ground etc.? And stop swearing in every sentence! Some say the first correct sentence a Liverpudlian knows is a suspended one? (Crown Courts ! )

Answer 1

Why can't Liverpudlians speak correct English?.?

This should be "Why can Liverpudlians not speak correct English?". Strictly speaking if you expanded the contraction there, your sentence would read "Why can not Liverpudlians speak correct English?". It's not correct, if you wanted to use a contraction you should have said "Why is it that Liverpudlians can't speak correct English?".

Your question mark, full stop, question mark punctuation is incorrect as well of course.

Your ellipsis (the three dots after "starting with") is incorrect, ellipsis are used to 'trail off' a sentence, or sometimes as an alternative to 'etc'. In your next sentence (or phrase, it's difficult to tell) you say "a litter bin not the ground", do you not mean "the ground is not a litter bin"? You then use a full stop and then a question mark which is uneccessary, you should only terminate a sentence with ONE of a full stop, an exclamation mark or question mark.

Moving on, your next sentence starts with "And". This is incorrect English only to some people, others say that it is acceptable grammar but terrible style; either way you shouldn't do it.

Finally your placement of a question mark in your last sentence should be an exclamation mark, you are being accusatory and exclaiming, not interrogatory and querying.

Where are you from?

Wazzara marra wi' you whack?
Are you really asking a question about English dialects or are you just having a go at people who happen to come from Merseyside? (You would possibly prefer me to spell it Mairzeeside).
My mother was born in Bolton and grew up in Liddypool (that's an affectionate name used by us ignorant bastards). She was a multi-lingual secretary, but when she was confronted with a Geordie accent, she came home in tears: 'I can't understand a word he's saying.'
OK you've had your fun with Liverpool, now try Glasgow, or possibly London, no 't' in English, as Phil Mitchel's bruvver would confirm, if 'e 'adn't nicked orf abroa. Souf o Spain probly.'
Never, ever annoy a Liverpudlian. We're very quick with the repartee, and we don't suffer fools gladly.
So, I suppose that you are one of the few people in England who speak accentless received English. Jolly good luck to you! Bung ho! No sorry, I think that should be Gung ho!

All accents are beautiful in their own way, and all contribute to the beauty of the English language. Remember: accents are not only accents but dialects, which come with culture and vocabulary. They enrich us all. We should treasure what we have, try to understand, and ask if we do not. "Liverpudlians" are generous, kind and friendly, requite favors readily, and are very proud of the way they speak. Such pride reflects the pride in being British and speaking English, no matter what they may outwardly express.

Answer 4

No doubt, you're from one of the Southern Counties of England, - and, Daddy paid for you to go for elocution lessons, - which, the majority of well-off southerners cannot survive WITHOUT! Those of us, who live further North, - that is, to say, North of the "WATFORD GAP" services, on the M1, - have OTHER things, that we consider of greater IMPORTANCE! We look after our OWN youngsters, - we can't afford to employ "NANNIES", or "GOVERNESSES", - nor, pay for PRIVATE education!

With people like you, spouting this kind of tripe, Liverpudlians will have problems, for YEARS to come! I suppose that your solution, would be, to force Northerners throu ELOCUTION lessons, - to FORCE them into speaking as YOU DO! My suggestion, though, - for YOU, - is, to ASK Daddy, to hand over ANOTHER wad of cash, - so that YOU could pay for a single ELECTROCUTION lesson! You wouldn't NEED more than that, - thus, you'd save Daddy an ABSOLUTE FORTUNE, in FEES, for your posh PRIVATE SCHOOL!

The TRUTH is, though, - in spite of your bias, towards the Southern quarter of Great Britain, - Liverpudlians are among the THOUSANDS of different accents, that we HAVE in the UK, these days. I don't suppose you believe that "INTELLIGENT LIFE" can SURVIVE north of WATFORD!

And, - as for your apparent assumption, that ALL Scousers are members of the CRIMINAL fraternity, - THAT is, actually, SLANDEROUS! Thus, - YOU could be the one, who ends up, facing a Court, - NOT the Scouser!

Stick to POLO, - or, LACROSSE, - like all the other self-important public school OIKS!

Answer 5

I am reliably informed by a friend that works in a Liverpool school that the reason behind the inability of Liverpudlians to fully gasp the English language is partly due to the fact that there is not as much time available in Liverpool schools for English lessons because the school must also find time for wallowing in self pity lessons and that's not a joke,there are at least 6 different knots to learn to effectively tie their scarves together then theres the songs,the crying,not to mention doing all these at the same time.

Answer 6

what is 'correct English? I come from the Black Country where folk speak a different language almost, but the Black Country dialect is said to be Old English and therefore that must be 'correct English' not like wot yo spake.
