[edit] The "U-Word"...
Does anyone have any information on her speech impediment which makes her render the word "acceptable" as "a-septable"? BaHaReep 07:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

- A quick search reveals citable sources both online and in printed articles (Evening Standard):
- "Not only do we love Jo Frost (left) for her no-nonsense approach to childcare, but because she has also invented a word. Each week, unruly kids are told their behaviour is "unaseptable". It's become the new buzzword in our house."[1]
- "Every Monday night, Supernanny Jo Frost goes on a mission to save another family where the children are running amok, subjecting harried parents to what Frost calls mob rule and "unasseptable" behaviour."[2]
- That's enough for at least a mention of the unwitting catchphrase in the main article. Personally speaking, we go berserk here when she says it. Unfortunately, we haven't seen the show properly in a while because her last utterance triggered a frenzy that resulted in four hundred pounds worth of property damage and a pregnancy scare. ◄ИΞШSΜΛЯΞ► 13:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

She doesn't have a speech impediment
- This is ridiculous. I don't know how many of you have ever been to England, but I wouldn't for a minute say that Jo Frost has a speech impediment. The correct term is "accent". Moreover, even if she did have what you call a speech "impediment", is that really important enough to be a part of the article? Her accent sounds like an Essex/East End/Estuary type of accent and they talk like that there. --Mezaco 22:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Whilst it is very noticible that she does not say unacceptable with a recieved pronounciation, or (it appears to be pronounced from previous comments) in an american accent, it is a result of an accent rather than a speach impediment. It is not the first time I have heard it pronounced this way! It is not a speach impediment. Thertainly not! Ksbrown 15:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] children of her own
does she have children of her own? i came to this page to look it up, but it doesn't appear that the information is generally available.
- No she does not. MrMarmite 15:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jo Frost
She doesn't have a speach impediment its an accent and obviously your not up to scratch on the whole different English accents thing!! From Abby Megan Frost-Smith
Its not exactly an accent or an impediment, she just cant say unacceptable. i remember in the 2nd series, i think in the 1st episode i was shocked when i heard her say it correctly, as i had loved hearing her say it wrongly. but luckily, it returned later in the series
