One language, many voices - not the name of this years worst X-factor group.....

The British Library is preparing to launch an exhibition called 'Evolving English: One Language, Many Voices'. Linguists within the British Library say pronunciation is a matter of fashion and are asking the public to help it track how pronunciation is shifting in Britain, as our language evolves.

Volunteers are being asked to record a chapter from the Mr Men book Mr Tickle, to see how certain words and accents have changed over time.
