Limited Vocabulary
I really enjoyed the Channel 4 programme on the Royal Navy recruits and the first programme last night on the Female Recruits to the Army was most interesting.
It appears that the days of instructors calling recruits " horrible little man" have well and truly gone and it now appears that every other word they use is 7 letters long and begins with the letter F.
I know it is 2016 and many years since the Sex Pistols and the Bill Grundy interview and one aspect of the training is to toughen up the recruits but I don't think this sort of language would be acceptable anywhere else and the constant repeating of the word makes it loose some of its impact.
Am I just living in the past ? What do others think ?
P.B.
