Now I know that we must have ethnic diversity in news readers but how did this woman pass a screen test? She can't pronounce "L", says "De" instead of "the" and stumbles over sentences all the time, just waiting to see if she says "aks"! What happened to quality, like Clive Myrie, Trevor McDonut and Moira Stewart for example?

Ken: TCL is a professional nit picking contrarian he certainly woud never post an example that showed the points I was making. She can't say  "the" FGS!

11:21, have a day off naomi, we all bash out answers with typos. That does not mean we think the errors are correct.

You use 'end of' quite a lot. Yet you always follow it up with more comments. 'End of' means that's your final decision and you won't talk about it anymore. End of😊

I'm sure Tora prefers his BBC types to sound more like Mr. Cholmondley-Warner.

doesn't mean that to me ken.

TORATORATORA, if you think I spent time looking for and listening to several videos before posting that link, you are sadly mistaken.

I Googled her name, selected "videos" and that was the first hit.

TTT, your statement isn't a typo.  It's very poorly constructed English. Had you not been so ridiculous in demanding perfection from the lady in question I wouldn't have mentioned it - but you were. 

[ToraToraTora]

I don't know what you are talking about Naomi. Show me the writing and what you think it should be. We are bashing out responses on a web forum, not doing an English Language exam.

[ToraToraTora]

naomi: "Had you not been so ridiculous in demanding perfection from the lady in question I wouldn't have mentioned it - but you were. " - she's a news reader FGS listened to by millions. She should be perfect. We might as well have Rosie Jones reading the news.

In case you doubt me, I repeated the screenshot and took a screenshot.

I am on a 'phone but that doesn’t show the number of results so I changed it to the "desktop" view.

You'll notice it shows the number of hits but no page number.

The page number shows only after page 1 so that confirms the image must be page 1.

TTT, your post at 11:15 Sun could well have come from the pen of Little Ern.  :o)

[THECORBYLOON]

Thst should read, "...I repeated the search..."

[ToraToraTora]

11:45 what should it have been?

[naomi24]

Far be it from me, TTT ....

[ToraToraTora]

You are being silly naomi. That post was not grammatically perfect perhaps but this ain't an English exam. we are bashing out responses on a web forum. I could go through yours and rip it to shreds. On here I often type like a conversation rather than a literary masterpiece.

[naomi24]

TTT, //I could go through yours and rip it to shreds. //

 

Quite possibly - but I'm not claiming perfection.

[ToraToraTora]

Naomi: "Quite possibly - but I'm not claiming perfection." - have I ever claimed perfection in grammar? I'm saying that a news reader that broadcasts to millions should be able to perform that function accurately.

[THECORBYLOON]

Will you concede my link was not the result of my trawling for a video to contradict you?

[naomi24]

TTT, I don't see the problem.  I don't struggle to understand her and I can't imagine why anyone would. 

[retrocop]

It's not a cut glass, English rose accent but certainly lucid and understandable.But there again I have just binge watched  nearly 96 episodes of Death in Paradise from series 1 to series 12 so it's not difficult to understand her diction.😎
