[Ads-l] Heard on Britspeak TV: "His business went _burst_."

[Wilson Gray]

The speaker was a reporter from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, speaking in Rothbury
in Northumberland. Do Americans ever say "go burst"? I've never heard it.

He also pronounced "leverage" as "leeverage." To me, "levver/leever" is
like "ekkonomic/eekonomic," but I've never heard "leeverage," before,
either.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
