Our language is the very dog of languages. Bear with me. Dogs are the species that show the greatest variability of appearance from the same basic genetic make-up, and can breed with one another to produce viable offspring (puppies to thee and me ). The English language permits a marvellously rugged and flexible usage whilst staying comprehensible, and inter-breedable, to continue the dog analogy.

I love dogs and English messiness too



* You can hear the persistence of an alternative version of that 'to be' mix in the Black Country 'Yow'm' = you am, instead of the now standard 'you are'”



I love dogs too!

Probably not. Her expertise is in ballet...which is impressive yet totally irrelevant here (I assume).
I don't mind her tho, at least she's an actual professional dancer unlike Alesha...and she has legs for days

I don't know about that.
I am a classical-trained pianist, but I sure as hell know if a jazz pianist has a decent technique or if a singer is bang on pitch or has decent breath control and phrasing. Some basic things apply across music - and I would imagine they do across dance too.

I like Darcey but I wish Tess (tptb) would ask for her opinion earlier like 1st or 2nd comment as she does give good critiques

The comments flow better IMO when asked in the following order

Bruno
Darcey
Len
Craig”

I think Darcy gives the least relevant comments. In fact I think she talks utter bilge.

I actually ff when Darcy speaks - her comments are anodyne and the nasality of her speech grates on me.

Her approach is the same as "I respect your point of view BUT ... "

Show agreement / solidarity and then say the opposite.
