John_Hartley Posted 26 October , 2007 Share Posted 26 October , 2007 I am being a rebel, I'm with you, Kevin. Bad spillers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chins. John Whoops.

Greyhound Posted 26 October , 2007 Share Posted 26 October , 2007 And why is it that plenty of people reMEMber to spell reMEMbrance right, from MEMory, but insist on referring to something called a MOMento?

MartH Posted 26 October , 2007 Share Posted 26 October , 2007 Can we go back to the shorter alphabet of Shakespeare's time. And why don't early books have similar spelling? Because there where no dictionaries, and it was spelt as heard, and the earliest English mass consumption dictionaries where printed in the Birmingham region. I can now spell 'necessary' since I learnt that, I just imagine it spoken in that accent. Would we better if they had been printed near Oxford? There are some regions we must thank God it was not printed there first. Is there a text short version for sms?

ShirlD Posted 27 October , 2007 Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Changing tack slightly (if that is allowed in this hallowed hall of a learning thread), my Italian mother used to murder my father's proverbs and he never succeeded in helping her get them right From memory, we had "I have killed 2 stones" "all the cooks are in the kitchen" "the bird is in my hand not the bush" etcetera Cheers Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
