OP It is popular to talk about an emerging classless society. Without getting too bogged down in academic sociolinguistics. What evidence do we see in our own countries of changes in the way words are used. Can you spot someone's station in life by the words they use or are only regional variations noticeable? Is this decreasing or increasing? Does anyone care anymore?
I'll include some reference to Nancy Mitford which was started in another thread.
