The disappeari­ng ‘T’

-

Further to P. Wilton (TV Guide, March 15), language is a living thing, therefore it is always evolving. While I accept that change will happen, I am saddened that English seems to be evolving backwards. Take for instance, the letter “T”. It would seem to be disappeari­ng, as in less than five minutes on TV I heard ‘responsibi­lidy’, ‘twenny’, ‘fighding’, ‘ardists’, and ‘exciding’, to mention but a few.
