Whatever will the fags do?
LOL, lots of this has been going on for years, both here and in the UK. I remember where I work we once had an ebonics-speaking employee who seldom pronounced the endings of words. She would come onto the intercom and announce “stock room, line one, please”, and it was “stah roo, lie wuh plea”.
What about the LGBT types who speak with a lithp?
The English are the worst speakers of the English language. The Irish, who were forced to learn English, speak much better English than the English do.
Ah, once upon a time, long, long ago, immigrants to America tried to fit in.
Those days are now long gone.
That’ll make dindoonuffin very happy.
Not in ThanFranthithco.
“ks” as well. “Ax you a question”.
Here’s a language change that’s been in the works.
........
Europe English
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was 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 five year phase-in plan that would be known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of the “k”. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like “fotograf” 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage 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 disgraseful, and they should go away.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”. 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 yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!
30-40 years ago, they said the same thing, only it was AMERICAN English that was supposed to displace the Queen’s English...................so Thhhhhhpft...........
I once attended a talk given by Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall book series. He mentioned traveling throughout England and described various regional accents and differences from one small town to another. Even he had a hard time understanding (he was from Liverpool).
From my cold dead tongue...
Linguists track the changes in language, not dictate change.
Presumptuous MORONS!
Can we just adopt ebonics and save time?
Fahrenheit 451 Great book, time to re-read it.
English? Won’t they all be speaking Pashtun and Arabic?
Since schools and colleges are ashamed of American culture, and since English is part of the culture, no surprise that English is not taught right, and anything goes.
Bad news for the gay lithsp.
I knew the lingo all good cops did.
Answering a question I never axed.
In the year 3535
