Just like the Southerners who stole OUR Northern language (where English originated) and corrupted it with their fancy Norman French inspired lingo. Barstards

Re: Baath or BAHth

Most Dubliners say bath but we have some on the posh side of the Liffey who say baw-th
Most also say book with a boo and not buck as in a dollar or a male rabbit.

Re: Baath or BAHth

Before the Great Vowel Shift, everyone spoke English properly as we do up north. None of this poncy 'baarth' and 'caarstle' nonsense.

Not their fault, of course. Generations of being taught how to speak wrongly. That's the problem.
