In the old "I Love Lucy" shows the loudest laughter always occurred when Desi broke in and asked "will you esplain........." Now, every TV announcer says it his way with no laughter. In fact, they have eliminated the "k" sound from most words that previously had them. Often this leads to confusion as in: " the Assessor could not access the house." was nobody home or was it that the roadway was under construction?
