Default Completely [OT]

My current bête noire is with the new (but incorrect!) pronunciation of
many words:

We now get:

- cultcha for culture
- lezja for leisure
- Lancasha for Lancashire
(and similar for all other counties ending in -shire)
- pleece for police

These not only come from broadcasters but also politicians (including
one former Prime Minister!).

I'm sure there are many others but they just don't come to mind at the
moment!
