It has lost something, the ae sound. It's just laziness and when it is adopted by newspapers here purely for the sake of the illiterate then it loses something more - depth.
America can have its own version, it's when it begins to be absorbed here that I'm bothered. |

| What's it got to do with you that you're sorry? |

Wow. Next time I won't say anything then. Was just sorry that you felt that way and that it bothered you.
I'm fine with not caring then and it can have nothing to do with me. |

I think you are correct and the Cambridge University Dictionary agrees with you. |

| It's the same thing here with "pediatrics" and "paediatrics" ---- although we don't say them any differently. |

I'm with you 100% Aja.
I not only thought the episode was amazing but they did do so a good job. The entire range of emotion from Bianca was great. And my heart broke for Whitney as well. Then at the end seeing Tony taken into custody I was so glad. |

| I agree Aja. Bianca was great and showed maturity. Whitney was great with her emotions. Tony was great and I hate him even more now that i've seen him beg and lie and whine. |
