Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2006.04.06 20:23:00 - [18] Originally by: Laythun Of course there is a correcct way of speaking english. look in the oxford dictionary... (1) The OED is not an official document. There's no such thing as an Academie Anglaise that decides what's right and what's wrong. (2) The OED updates itself according to how people are actually USING English, not according to how they think it's SUPPOSED to be used. If and when "your" completely replaces "you're" in general usage, the OED will say that "your" means you are; and so on. (3) Refer to (1). ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."

Of course there is a correcct way of speaking english. look in the oxford dictionary... No, look in Webster's dictionary. Oxford's dictionary is for this weird slang dialect of English called "britspeak." [23] Member: Official Forum Warrior What's with the blue robots? Click my sig.
Vladtsun Raide	Posted - 2006.04.06 21:04:00 - [21] He's pointing out that the same word is pronounced differently and has contextually different meanings but is written the same. It's a valid point. read= reed and read= red There's a lot about English that's the way it is simply because it is the way it is. It's actually a mishmash of french, romantic, and nordic/germanic languages that has evolved into it's own language. I don't envy anyone the task of learning it as a 2nd or 3rd language.
Raven Aure	Posted - 2006.04.06 21:12:00 - [22] I've never felt the need to run screaming to my old (in both years and methods) English teacher before now. Thank you for this new sensation. ______________________ "Ahh, Raven Aure. Your reputation precedes you." "Uh oh. Which one?"

Donna Darko	Posted - 2006.04.07 16:00:00 - [24] :( I want to learn English, to be able to express myself in a "logical way", to use the right expression at the right time, to use the RIGHT EXPRESSION period (i.e. instead of "usual business" it should probably be "business as usual") and get rid of my accent. How the hell would I go about it? Integrated modules and cargo modules

How the hell would I go about it? The best way to learn a language, especially the nuances of it is immersion. Live in England. ______________________ "Ahh, Raven Aure. Your reputation precedes you."

High Sierra	Posted - 2006.04.07 22:16:00 - [26] English is the language all right thinking people speak. so speak proper just like what I does.
Ja'kar	Posted - 2006.04.08 11:40:00 - [27] Edited by: Ja''kar on 08/04/2006 11:42:48 Originally by: Ja'kar Originally by: Ja'kar ________________________________________ Edited by: Ja''kar on 06/04/2006 14:57:47 there is no one English to spk therefore anyway you wish to say it is ok tho other ppl may not understand a word of it Queens or the long term unemployed and outdated person (as I like to call her) is not the right way to spk English by using spk you can understand what the message is and that is what is important ________________________________________ What the hell! Of course there is a correcct way of speaking english. look in the oxford dictionary... Your point is that there are many many many many dialects, they all differ but are perfectly understandable A (1)The OED is not an official document. There's no such thing as an Academie Anglaise that decides what's right and what's wrong. (2) The OED updates itself according to how people are actually USING English, not according to how they think it's SUPPOSED to be used. If and when "your" completely replaces "you're" in general usage, the OED will say that "your" means you are; and so on. (3) Refer to (1). What I mean is English has developed over time from many different sources, and is used as a means to control and establish class relations (thatÆs another thread). There is no one true source of English as English is not a single language from one source but has developed from many other cultures. What can be defined today will not be proper English in the past (17-18th century) and will be different again in another 100 years. What you mean (I would suggest by proper English) is either the queens (which is just another form) or the most common form of written (like OED), these are strands of or different types of English.
