Language of the Beeb

Had BBC News 24 on the goggle-box briefly last night. There was a wonderful piece of horrendous English grammar on the scrolling headline news ticker.

It was reporting on Ol' Golden's visit to see Dubya, just after "Gordon Brown met with both three candidates for president."

Looks like the Beeb is moving to a street-talk style of English. Maybe Ali G am doin' strap lines for da nooz ticka?
