Don't hear it so much now but a few years ago you'd get people qualifying their (lack of) knowledge about a subject by saying "It's my understanding that...."The one read on the bellylaugh today said 'understands' or 'understood' no less than 7 times.
Change those to 'reckons' and 'apparently' and it doesn't change the article at all.
