As far as I know there is no innerstate highway system. You'd never know that by watching ABC nightly news because David Muir like Diane Sawyer before him can't pronounce the letter t within a word. So everything happens on the innerstate, in the city of Atlanna, and often in the middle of the Atlannic Ocean. Those are just three of the dozens of words mispronounced nightly. This doesn't include all the two syllable words that he turns into three syllables like dazzeling, sparkelling, and gambelling. Why does this bother me when nobody else seems to notice? Maybe it's because when I was growing up the networks were the standard for accurate diction. And this unrecognized sloppiness is indicative of everything that is being ignored or considered unimportant. Also it's not just ABC News, but all the networks. Diction is dying. Grammar is dying. And while so many people are not speaking properly, nobody is speaking up.
