(18,690 posts)The BBC doesn't do anything lightly, so I knew it was important to some of their readers.

(18,690 posts)It is some kind of dialect they put up there. It blew my mind too when I first encountered it. I just try to find the same article written in the form of English I'm familiar with. I'm sure the BBC has an audience for that, but I have never researched it to find out more--just not that interested.
