(Speaking from Africa)
That's cos the only international radio broadcast on Shortwave is BBC World or
Voice of America - and all the English text books in the schools and libraries
are all completely out of date and at least 50 years old.
So we have been spared all that "cockney" and "scouser" gibberish. The only time
we come across more colloquial language is when we try to understand just what
the hell is being said by Eliza Doolittle - or The Beatles.
