unfortunately what you see on this forum is nothing compared to other forums and real life.

The wife is French, but she also speaks English and Italian (also, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, German), she speaks and writes like royalty in English and Italian. She loves watching Eastenders and picking up on style they talk. However, one of the best things about English is that over the last 800 years it has changed so often, would you feel the same if all the kids started talking like the way Shakespeare plays are written. It think it would be cool, but stepping backwards for a language which has the ability to change. HSE, Auto, Colour - Yes |

Languages are progressive and mercurial, they are not obdurate or intractable; they evolve reflecting both what is customary now and what was so in the past. One can observe however that this mutable toolset is frequently mishandled.

Interchanging a verb for a preposition is hardly evolution, therefore I care. |

That seems to originate from LA gang culture, and is perhaps even more irritating than the 'have/of' confusion.

If my darling daughter (Who has just left school with 9 'O' levels B grade and above) gave me 10 pence for everytime she said the word 'like' in a spoken sentence, I would be about £2 pounds richer with every brief conversation. Oh and when I went to school (Many moons ago |
