...that mangled little three letter word

Listening to Susanna Reid on BBC's Breakfast programme this morning she informed us all that,".......Roger Federer will be going for his sick Wimbledon title."

Blood pressure rising, hair curling at the back of my neck, I ask what right do the BBC have to change the pronunciation of a long used and friendly three letter word to a current faddish four letter word which sounds like vomit.

Will the attractive Susanna be having seck with her partner?

Will the kitchen Susannah mick the ingredients of her recipe?

Will Susanna fick a broken widget?

Will Susanna fack a document to her colleagues?

Will Susanna allow cocks in the university boat race?

Will send out Christmas bocks in December?

Does Susanna hunt fockses?

Oh Susanna what will it be?

Where does this recent fad come from?
