Tag Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 After reference on another thread to the Sun newspaper I have been trying to read the on-line version and I'm sorry to say I dont understand most of the slang or even know who or what most of the people are in the articles. And most of what is there is not really a newsworthy story anyway. In fact, even the layout makes the thing confusing as it jumps all over the place. Is there a dictionary of slang that I might use for this kind of thing? What seems to be a positive is that it uses the same words or phrases again and again so Sun-speak must be easy to learn. Is this Newspeak à la 1984?Is this the same newspaper that is supposed to have won the election for Blair?Anybody else feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ah yes, and some jolly nice horse flesh there is too. Age precludes further interest however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Anglia Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have to admit trying to keep up with the (so-called) celebrities in there at one time, since a pub-quiz we went to at the time, insisted on asking questions about what "celebrity" was doing what.I gave up after two weeks in utter and complete boredom....
