Anyone Else Seen "Peckham Finishing School for Girls"

Because they don't have very much money you mug. Also becuase of the vibrant African/Carribean community

lol. I talk like that. I admit I dont talk as ghetto as the red headed peckham but a lot of that slang does crop up in my vocabulary and I still bet I am 10 times more articulate than you are

Mhm, I tend to do the same, but really I can philosophise with the best of them

"What is intelligence, innit?"

Philosophizing isn't indicative of articulation. Pronunciation, sentence structure and vocabulary is.

You need to have a wide knowledge of vocabulary and language in order to accurattely describe the topic and your opinion though, don't you?

and i dont kno what deriding means.

I used to text like that when i was 13 back in secondary, i'm 19 now and iv'e grown up a bit i suggest you try it some day. How old are you anyway? I'm guessing around my age. At the end of the day most of the posts/threads iv'e seen from you involve drinking/contraception and now this. How can you even say "they dont kno what its like"? You don't know what it's like, you said you went to private school? I couldn't even of dreamed of private school, i didn't even know what one was until i was about 14. I suppose what annoyed me the most about your post is the way you make out you're like one of the girls from peckham, you had it sweet you went to private school for **** sake.

i wanna shoot the ginger one. ahhhhhh this is pissing me off so much lol. iplayer is **** i have to restart it every minute grr.

No, i really don't think you are.

Articulation can relate to both vocabulary and how you pronounce each word. I pronounce each word in a very old English fashion, meaning my articulation is closer to the truest form of English. Oh god i am a purist!!?!?!

only speaking proper english isn't articulate.

being able to speak proper english, as well as other types is. the whole point of language is to communicate - if 2 people can communicate just as well with slang and different pronounciation its fine.

english has been bastardised constantly since it was invented, so speaking the queens english is just speaking an older bastardised version.

edit: you are also topless in the kitchen in you profile - so your opinion doesnt count for **** anyway

Look it up then, and do similarly to all words you 'dont kno' and you may just improve on the atrocious vocabulary you have at present.

lol ok, i get u but the thing is all i ever act like is myself. im not trying to act more street or whatever to be cool. ive always been like this. im 17 btw. im ditzy but im not stupid, i act silly but im not immature so i dont appreciate u having a go at me when i havent done anything wrong. and yes i appreciated that i got the oppotunity to go private school but that doesnt mean i liked it or liked the people there which is why i particularly cant stand preppy girls. my family isnt posh, my dad just started up a successful company, im lucky and i kno it. so get off my case ok? this thread was to discuss a program not to slam me...

I think the programme shows the disadvantages money and a private education CAN bring, the main one being the naviety about how other socail classes. However, I think some of the girls seem to show some very small signs that they are becoming more aware of other classes and the real worl but there are no obivous signs that there snobbery will go away...

Teenagers are not allowed to boost their ego? Sorry I am failing to see how that is conducive to the argument.
Communicating in Pidgin English is pioneered by those who are less educated. Pidgin English is also less articulate relative to proper English. Therefore parallels can be drawn.
