I was pleasantly surprised when listening to Profile on that esteemed and respectable wireless station Radio 4, formerly the Home Service, at lunchtime on a Sunday, to hear a gentleman from Southampton clearly enunciate, not once but twice 'Rupert Lowe is a w@nker. Rupert Lowe is a vvanker' To be accurate, he didn't actually say 'Rupert Lowe is a wªnker. Rupert Lowe is a wÃnker' twice, i.e. four times overall, he just said 'Rupert Lowe is a wȁnker.' twice. Given the fact that Rupert Lowe is a wȺnker, ought it be necessary in this day and age for me to have to contrive complex ways to express the fact that Rupert Lowe is a wɑnker, without using my default UK keyboard to spell out the fact that Rupert Lowe is a w-a-n-k-e-r? |  |
