  In my first post I was not disparaging ordinary people who struggle with the finer points of language, as some of you seem to think. I was criticising the senior media people who choose presenters and journalists who do not have adequate language skills.
  
  Tom your analogy about making your own shoes is nearly there - there is a shoe shop down the road, and there is a newsagent across the street; but in both cases I expect a professionally crafted product, not something I could knock up in my kitchen. Likewise I don't expect the same quality of prose from forum members as I would from Jonathan Dimbleby.
