stevie_b Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Soon there will be Spanglish. Millions will miss-spell. Millions will perish in grammatical misery. Why does one error matter against so many? Because there is good spelling and there is evil spelling, and evil spelling must be punished. Even in the face of Armageddon I shall not compromise in this. But there are so many deserving of contextual correction ... and there is so little time. Aye, correct others' spelling and you may get flamed. Don't correct it and you won't -- at least (sic) a while. And posting in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our grammar!!!

But there are so many deserving of contextual correction ... and there is so little time. You're not being very multicultural... We could have Spangrish. A Spanish evolution of Engrish. Then again I'm half Asian and do pronounce some words a little differently. I put that down to my mother. English isn't her first language so she puts me to shame that she's multilingual and I'm not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Folks, it's not really about words that are spelt the same. That doesn't look wrong onscreen. It's words that are spelt differently but sound the same that get on my nerves. eg. Does anyone no what is wrong with my breaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
