English is a very rough language to learn, it's (or is it its) one of the worst.

I believe I owe this one to Chuck, below. Thanks for the many laughs. I think about them as I swish my CS. Euro English: The European commission has just announced an agreement that English will be the official language of European Community (EU) rather than German (the other possibility). As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement, and has accepted a 5-year phase-in of new rules that would apply to the language and reclassify it as EuroEnglish. The agreed plan is as follows: In year 1, the soft 'c' would be replaced by 's'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be replased by 'k'. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan now have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' is replased by 'f'. This will reduse 'fotograf' by 20%. In the 3rd year, publik akseptance of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent 'e's in the language is disgrasful, and they should eliminat them. By year 4, peopl wil be reseptiv to lingwistik korektions such as replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' with 'v' (saving mor keyboard spas). During ze fifz year, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a reli sensibil riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls of difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI KUM TRU!!!

Just as one example, studies show that in comparison to other European children, English children are far behind in reading skills. The reason is the absurdly irregular orthography of English. Scholars and writers have meticulously documented and discussed these problems for several centuries, but we have yet to see a widely accepted solution. Some day we will. I also prize good grammar and spelling, but the fact is that our language needs improvement. Some folks are working toward that end. Errors by supposedly professional journalists, are, of course, unacceptable, and trivial errors on a list like this can be a source of frustration for some readers. However, taking "time out" to learn more about the orthography problems might be more rewarding and productive than continuing the vituperative exchange that prompted this message.

Re: CS>Language
Well, some scholars think that language is a matter of correct rules; sorry, the "rules" are deduced from the material, though occasionally there are squabbles. Err, scholarly debate? One of the great losses to our knowledge of the mind has been the 'disappearing' of many many languages totally unrelated to the main families of language we are familiar with. The ideational patterns that inform language constructs are by no means fixed mental arrangements any more than they are completely arbitrary, they seem to inhabit some middle ground, a confusion of forms - or perhaps forms of confusion?

I wouldn`t call ignorance unique, I`d call it appalling. It is grating to read, whether in books, or emails, or even crawls across the TV screen, the innumerable misspellings and misusages of the language. I saw three misspellings on CNN just today, and another one on the local news, then the historical fiction book I`m currently reading is full of inconsistancies, and so emails to the Silverlist that are grammatically incorrect are the last straw, I suppose. Can`t we learn to do better? Does anyone really care anymore? Marshalee (Sorry Mike, I`m in perimenopause... That is all from me.)
