Pedants' Corner

[John Mason]

Taking aside Scotland, Wales and Ireland who all have there own difference in dialect of English as well as a language of there own. In England there are numerous local dialects some of which are a language of there own however all the dialects read and write in UK English and this includes the Scots, Welsh and Irish when speaking in English rather than there own language. That’s why a man from say Newcastle when speaking to a man from Birmingham find it difficult to understand one another but can both read and understand letters of correspondence to one another.
