I'M sure we're all indebted to Michael McCulloch's comments on mis-use of the English language (Mind your language, June 27).

However, it would be sad if people who really have something interesting to say were silenced due to their ignorance of superior literacy, 'cos sometimes wot we 'ave to say might be more interestin' than someone 'oo knows 'ow to say it propper.

Hope he's not going to start giving us marks out of ten!

Please check for any mistakes.
