The Queen's English (well actually she's of German lineage). Some of its mis-usages do make me giggle. I remember one woman pronouncing
tribunal as
tribuneral. I love the creeping apostrophe and its general misuse, for example
chip's instead of
chips. The latest one I keep seeing is hilarious;
St Pancreas instead of
St Pancras! I wonder of other languages are also subjected to such mistreatment, or whether it is a uniquely British phenomenon.
