Hi, linguistics professor here! Free lesson for you that I cover in my intro course: This is actually very normal. Everyone adjusts their language use based on their audience! Please look up sociolinguistics, register, code switching, and style shifting for more information.

Most English speakers accept the fact that the language changes over time, but don’t accept the changes made in their own time.

@wordspinster The "who cares" part of your comment, however, is important. People, no matter what their job, should be able to take time off to heal without a nation speculating into overdrive.

@wordspinster Editing out anything visible under clothes, perhaps, and then overcompensating for the required changes. No clue. Not my field. But my suspicion is that the editing was done to conceal something, whatever it may be, and some sort of visible medical device seems plausible.

#cbbuk Does anyone else get the creeps from Louis Walsh, insofar as every time he discusses a woman or anyone around him mentions any female he specifically, immediately (and often only) comments on her looks.
