In England, I'm noticing more and more that people have trouble talking correctly. Phrases like 'I ain't done nothing' and using 'ain't' instead of 'haven't' and slang such as 'innit' makes my skin crawl. Is the English language getting worse? Am I just a snob, or does this irritate other people?

There isnt any need to talk so formally, and it just sounds weird.
