... a body that is generally recognised as suitably qualified...

... So lets resist the trends that we find unpalatable or ugly to try to prevent them from becoming accepted!


Your choice of what is unpalatable or ugly seems to be aligned with your definition of a "suitably qualified" body... but personally *we find language an art form and its virtue is in the ears of the beholder.

I know what is meant when I hear 'noo-cue-lar' (I can't even say it myself) and I use 'eye-ther' quite 'off-ten' but I ain't tryin' to impress nobody by doin' so, yet the little journey of juxtaposition and misuse of "acceptable form"(blech) I take myself and the listener on in this sentence is intentional.

Speaking of... If the mispronouncer doesn't "know better" how long does it take 'til it no longer qualifies as a mispronouciation?
