But first...
Dulltown, UK: Today's wrongly used punctuation mark, is the ellipsis...

Even as I work away, and the radio is tuned to that awful classical music station, BBC Radio 3, and some singing kicks off, I can't help but put a pen and a piece of paper next to me - just to jot down some of the things that, I think, they might be saying, in that very confident lush way, that they have.
Is it me, is my hearing faulty?
Do other people, listening to the show, understand all those words, and all that fruity enthusiastic stuff that seems to be going on?
How can such well developed pronunciation, and sharp diction, be so misleading, for me? Perhaps if I'd been educated in a posh school, I'd be able to follow all this wordy drama - and maybe get to, even, like it?
Well, no, I don't think so.
Anyway, here are some more of my misheard snatches:
'Oh, a propeller... for me'?
'So, see my alabassa weedy pinker'!
'Me! Me me me me, hay hay! We, bronto-merry'!
'A crisp street gets hundry now... Yay...'
'My duty, duty, duty, is pride, pride, pride'!
'Ahaa, ha ha ha ha ha ha!...'
'It was morm, morm, and just a one hand rinse.'
'Oh, 'tis the mead! Pony poor! Pony poor'!
'Up around! Come!... Tra-laa, tra-laa!...'
'Lessen the day! Porty-porty, I so know it now'!
'The poplar beech - the hymn, you and each it goes so'!
'Lay the palm for me - the palm, so gallamonty'!
'Whipple woe! Whipple woe'!
'Dee dee dee dee... dee-dee'!
'Comb my fool - my horse nets are alive'!
