The BBC Governors have ordered an inquiry into the language used on the children's TV programme Dick and Dom, according to The Times:
The corporation’s governors have cautioned that slang and poor language employed by the corporation’s stars could create a generation of children unable to master English.
Meanwhile grammar expert and best-selling author Lynne Truss says:
Blaming the BBC for such a decline would be to miss the obvious: that the BBC is reflecting a shift that is occurring elsewhere in the language.
And BBC News has this.
