Spelling alert: for Seeing More Clearly Now: If you're going to upbraid a fellow FReeper for his spelling, you may want to spell his name correctly.
It’s just an idiot looking to pick a fight, not discuss what was said.
Expect another looooooooooong drawn out off topic post by them, soon.
Actually, the correct spelling of the objective case of Darksheare in English actually is "Dirkshire." The form "Dearksheare" was common in England immediately after the Saxon invasion. [The Angevin's particularly favored it.] The Welsh, quite naturally, preferred the objective form "Dwyrrickshwyrrah." Following their custom, the Scots had no written form of the word, and chose instead to utter a series of guttural clicks and "ochs" when the objective form was required.
Over the last nine centuries, this has universally converged throughout the UK to the "Dirkshire" we all use today. The American usage "Dearksheare" became popular temporarily after the Revolution, when it became fashionable to prefer spelling which "seemed French" as a nod to the new American ally, and a further break with the past. But it is not a proper form.
As you probably know, there is an intense scholarly debate over this topic on the Internet. Warning: contains the lively but obtuse circumlocutions often used by intellectuals and pedants.
It’s funny how the spelling and grammar police just about ALWAYS make the mistake in their posts that they are upbraiding someone else about.
