"Can i get", whatever happened to "please may i have".

People can't speak proper English any more. I blame the BBC for letting standards slip.

Ha, agree. Actually i thought i had deleted this thread. I had so many other words and stuff young un's use nowadays like
"my bad", "own it" and so many other's. Anyway, i did the tread last night when i came in from the pub and couldn't remember them (and still can't) when i started typing, so i deleted.......i thought.

My grandson has been taught, “please may I...” He’s three.

I’ve always believed in correct grammar and vocabulary with my two. I know they talk sh!t when they are with their friends, but they also know how to conduct themselves when they are in company!
