How to speak like a BBC newsreader

Handy stuff from the Daily Mail to keep you on your toes with BBC English including phonetics for commonly mispronounced words. Smashin...oops, I meant maaah-vel-uz

The most complained about is a MUCH better list with BBC's suggestions. I assume they phone the Queen just to check these out of course?

  • Harass - harr-uhss
  • The letter H - aytch
  • Debris - deb-ree

This one still has me baffled though...

  • Menzies Campbell (ming-iss)

Though handy to know that the Beeb is hip to times

  • KanYe West (kahn-yay west)

Personally I'm more up for Radio 5 language which is way off piste :)
