>> When I was in England back in my Air Force days I was talking to a Chap in a Pub one night and he said we took and English language and butchered it and I replied that we took the English language and made it better. Boy did that get a rise out of him. Anyway after a couple of Pints we were friends again and we both agreed that the British beer was better than US beer.
Well I have to agree, in many ways the Americanization of the English
language has no doubt simplified some of it, it has so many words were
often one would do, and they are pronounced the same, so its a
shambles of rules.
Weather and whether, both pronounced the same, so when I am speaking
its up the the other person on the receiving end to decode the
meaning, so why can that be true for when its written!
No as much as I like to see its correct use, its a stupid old thing..
Of course that means you can play on it to totally fool online and non
English translation, by using the deliberate wrong words, so as read
its gibberish, but as spoken, makes perfect sense...
I decided to take a taxi to the city
Eye decided two take hay taxi two the settee
A bit of a slant on the accent as read, but anyone English would
understand the sentence if they heard it, but to read it or translate
it, gibberish...
hopefully one days we wil have a new world language, with such ideas
as simple sentence structure and simple spelling.
