On the Vowel.

Grammar Yesterday, The Guardian put out their usual request for subjects for their Review anything column and I offered the following:

@guideguardian Advantageous, the indie film on Netflix. The YourNews section of iPM. Textured wallpaper. Asda t-shirts. Vowels.

They went with vowels:

A – Pronounced “ay”. Though in the word “bath”, if you’re from the north it’s said “ah” and if you’re from the south, inexplicably, it’s “ar”. “A” is the vowel of the north-south divide. It is a vowel of hatred. Though it is also used to denote excellence in examinations and energy efficiency in boilers. Useful. 7/10

I agree with their ratings.
