Я вырос вверх верящ (возможно мне даже научил этому) что потехой, funner и funnest были правильные положительные, сравнительные и superlative формы потеха.
Но после этого я провел исследование некоторое исследование и нашел, что некоторые интересные debates пошли дальше:
Комментарии 0 Я не хочу дать впечатление что я несокрушимо против любого английского сленга, vernacular или witticisms. Я главным образом против злоупотребления colloquialisms such as awesome, котором будет теперь настолько халтурно о pukifying (причиняя одно к puke, слово, котор я как раз составил).
Резвит хозяин jock radio [бирка], котор Colin Cowherd [/tag] фактическ имело пару хороших одних сегодня.
Были….
Я приносил это вверх перед, но делаю использующ слово awesome реально имейте любую смысль?
В начале, бог увидел что он был больш и enjoyable и вызван им bitchin‘.
Более поздно, это было morphed в шпунтово, phat, больной, неудача, cEtc.
Мы умеем как связывать больше без быть шпунтово и, уныло для того чтобы сказать, придурковато и невежественно?
Индийск-принесенный автор [бирка], котор Salman Rushdie [/tag] было недавн knighted ферзем Англии, где он длиной жил и работал. Оно было там почти 20 лет тому назад то, котор он опубликовал Вирши Satanic, который немедленно было castigated как кощунство много в мусульманском мире. Аятола Khomeini даже выдал a fatwa смерти против его та тишина стоит.
In the wake of его knighthood, звоноки для убийства Rushdie снова resonating в мусульманском мире. Иранская группа даже предложила $150.000 к его душегубу как вознаграждение.
Вещь, no one в западных средствах реально спешит к обороне этого автора, как [бирка] примечания Тим Rutten [/tag] и decries внутри его статья в сегодняшнем Лос-Анджелес Таймс.
Я высоки рекомендую что каждое прочитало его статью.
This is no time for silence, which Rutten accurately describes as "a silence in which the only permissible sounds are the prayers of the killers and the cries of their victims."
I spend a lot of my time dealing with Internet issues. For the past few years, all the buzz has been about the social networking sites like My Space and the social bookmarking sites like Digg, which are part of what’s called [tag]Web 2.0[/tag]. But have you ever read the stuff that’s being posted on these sites?
Misspellings, misuses, fragments, run-ons, jargon and slang–you name it. A lot of the stuff resembles what an illiterate Madison Avenue might produce. In fact, that might be the exact result we’re seeing on these sites–an attempt to employ Madison Avenue marketing, promotion and advertising techniques for personal gain, but without any effort at literacy.
So this reality begs the question: Does literacy matter anymore?
Maybe it doesn’t matter in a pop culture sense, but in a survival-of-the-culture sense, literacy certainly does matter. It’s like those barbarians who overran the latter-day Roman Empire. They weren’t any less cultured than many of the Roman citizens they overran.
They just had more to gain. Ooh, scary thought.
On certain computer monitors my previous theme, named Magellan, looked fine, but on others it was just too hard to read. So, after considerable research, I’ve switched over to this new, more open and "whiter" theme named Rockin’ Big Idea.
I hope you enjoy it. Now if I can just figure out how to get my RSS feed working again. Anybody got any solutions?
I’m not sure if this word usage qualifies as a NotWord, but it certainly qualifies as incorrect. As a university instructor, both on-ground and online, I read a lot of papers. One great mistake I see a lot and which surprises me is the use of since when the author means sense.
Someone will write, for instance, that "his since of timing was off." Clearly, the word here has to be sense. The spell checkers of the world will normally not catch a misused word that is spelled correctly, so even if these students are relying on built-in word processing features, their misused words can easily slip through.
I’m not sure how students make this mistake since the words since and sense sound quite different when pronounced. I can understand typing out one word for another when they sound exactly the same, such as there and they’re, but to use since repeatedly instead of sense tells me something.
And what I think it tells me is that these people didn’t have enough "drill-and-kill" spelling exercises when they were in school, or if they did, they didn’t pay close enough attention to them.
Since this is Monday, that’s my sense of frustration for the week.
I’m no longer surprised when native English speakers (Americans) cannot define or locate in a sentence any of the eight parts of speech used in English. It just reflects the sorry state of education in the U.S.
The educational establishment starting in the 1960s or so developed this "drill and kill" mentality that rejected the teaching of anything that needs to be memorized and repeated–and then put into action with worksheets and quizzes. Supposedly, if you "drill," you "kill" the students’ precious little creative minds. Unfortunately, you also end up not teaching them anything.
Anyway, enough on that, here are the eight parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
I found a neat site for you to "drill and kill" yourself learning these. No, really, it teaches and then quizzes you: ESLUS.com .
Now, you hear this all the time: "I graduated high school in 1982."
No matter what year you use in there, the construction is still incorrect. The active verb form of graduate refers to what the school or institution does: It graduates students. Thus you are graduated or were graduated from high school, college, prison ([tag]Paris Hilton[/tag]?) or wherever.
However, this sloppy and misunderstood use of English, "I graduated," has been tacitly recognized as "informal" by dictionary folk, proving once again that, if people use it, the dictionaries will honor it.
This may be a bit off track for my audience, especially for those outside the United States, but I have simple advice for Yankees baseballer [tag]Jason Giambi[/tag]: "Shut up!"
I appreciate what Giambi has said publicly so far–especially the part that everyone in baseball should apologize for the sham of the steroid era when unbreakable records were routinely broken–but now that he’s being confronted with an ultimatum by [tag]MLB COmmissioner Bud Selig[/tag] to ‘fess up to investigator [tag]George Mitchell[/tag] or face a suspension, the time to zip the lips is here.
Selig is out of his mind. Giambi has already spoken. Baseball (Selig) doesn’t need to make a sacrificial lamb out of him. Selig is the very one who stood by actionless with full knowledge of the steroid abuse by players who were then shattering records and did nothing, absolutely nothing, but revel in the increased crowds and TV rankings.
Silence will be golden for Jason Giambi. Departure would be noble for Selig.
