Inappropriate Tics

[steepholm]

I am a very shallow person. I feel terrible for the family of young April Jones, especially now it's emerged that she has cerebral palsy and needs medication. I feel terrible for April Jones herself. I'm awed by the way the local community has worked together to try and find her.

But I still can't help correcting the radio every time a BBC reporter fails to pronounce "Machynlleth" properly. What have I become?

I think that's the crucial difference! And for those reporters on the spot, it's not as if there aren't plenty of Welsh people around to give them tips.
