The thing is that the first row of words is pronounced by a TV announcer. A small boy watching TV says that this is the way they speak in the Oxford commune where he lived for some time among scholars. The second row is how he and his not very educated relatives speak. His aunt, who is also watching TV used to admire the announcer. The boy says she speaks the way they speak in the commune, which she considers a lawless place and despises. She does not want the spotless image of the announcer to be sullied.
