What's the big deal? The study of language, and the words we use, is a fascinating one. Two hundred grand isn't that bad, considering what some presenters are paid for what is to my mind pig-swill telly.

Mr Swire said: "People expect high standards from the BBC and many might well be offended by effectively subsidising programmes of this nature through the licence fee. "The change of language is an entirely good thing to look at, but I don't see why they have to sensationalise the subject.
"I'm sure they can have a stimulating debate about the change of language without resorting to the crude and baser words."
Surely language changes at the margins of acceptance? Refusing to debate/discuss a change in meaning is pretending that it isnt happening
