It's really struck me this week.
Nigella Lawson and Alex Polizzi both do it.
It doesn't annoy me, I'm just interested where it comes from.

Bugs the hell out of me.
But seriously, I'm interested in why this is so.
Maybe it's an affectation or a reality of not bothering to make a hard pushed-forward shape with the mouth.
I don't know!
I think I'm over analysing!
Dack and Dill went up a hill.
`Brought instead of Bought` both have entirely different English meanings
I think that's like saying Paree for Paris, I can never make up my mind if it's pretentious as hell or just polite to name it as the people whose city it is do
Usually it depends on if I already dislike the person saying it:D
Paree etc is normally pretentious. And I forgive those I like too
But Dubai is never Jubai (Jew-bai) AFAIK.
First two posts here are correct I think.
