If the government bans short form language, many of the title names of shows must be changed as for example:

The Warwick University Rape Chat Scandal (BBC Three)
Is University Racist? (BBC Three)
Celebrities Go Dating (E4)
Hot Property: Celebrity Edition (BBC Three)
Yung Filly's Celebrity Lock-In (BBC Three)
Celebrities on Benefits (Channel 5)
Celebrities on the Farm (Channel 5/MTV)

And that is that?

I didn't realize that your new grammar and spelling rules were going to be applied mainly to TV schedules.

Is that really the main cultural activity in the south of England, watching tele?
