You Said What?

Following on from the minor rant about people who insist on spelling their names in ridiculous ways which are completely at odds with the way they are spelled is the thing with people who insist on trying to pronounce things in a way designed to present them in the best possible light and suggest that they are far better educated than is actually the fact. Unfortunately this is a very difficult thing to put into text as I'm not all that good at writing in phonemes - and as there are always several alternatives available for some of these pronunciations you'll just have to take my word for it.
Now why in this day and age some people seem to feel that class is a thing that matters is completely beyond me but there are still those out there who go weak at the knees at the first sound of an upper class English accent allegedly honed on the battlefields of Eton (but more likely learned from Linguaphone in a dingy attic in Shadwell "all together now the water in Majorca don't taste like wot it orter") and will therefore believe anything they are told so long as the person doing the telling sounds 'proper'
