In fact, this is precisely why I love animals.

They don't constantly find fault with us.

They don't look down on the uneducated.

They don't constantly find fault.

They accept us, warts and all.

They'd still love us if we had two heads!

They ask for so little.

So much more genuine than a lot of humans.
And less pompous

Re: Are More People Not Pronouncing The "th" Sound in Words?

There is no reason in most of this world for being uneducated unless you wish to be like that. The standard of English must be sadly lacking in many U k schools now , or is it a case of once out of school the kids revert to unintelligible speech. It does not surprise me that so many find it impossible to get work when they leave. I certainly would not have employed anyone that was not able to put an intelligible sentence together.
Many of those now that are employing school leavers are themselves bordering on the illiterate , or couldnt care less.

They must be well paid, but surprising that the women get less money for using more words, because they are the main culprits.

They don't get work because there are more people and less jobs.
