Community service and mispronunciations

Is community service a soft option? Plus, which words do you hear being mispronounced?

Earlier today, you heard from The Justice Secretary Ken Clarke and from the governor of Nottingham Prison. Is community service/community pay-back a soft option?

How can justice still be seen to be done in this time of austerity? Have you had any experience of doing community service?
Which crimes should be punished this way rather than by a prison service?

Plus, the British Library is beginning a project designed to provide a record of shifts in the way we pronounce words. Some people have strong views on the way certain words are pronounced....what are your pet hates? Artic? Expresso? Fillum (film)?
