I am sorry, English is not my first language, but I have difficulties to understand yours Archie. Are you using a translator perhaps?
DickR- MY GENuine apology to you sir. It appears you are experiensing a first instans uv Hairitaje Inglish, that which most Canadianz yooz / use becuz most uv us are nearly totally iliterate in Prescriptive English, becuz about forty yearz ago, the CDN gov't banned fonics clas az no longer being nesesairy in our schoolz & sins then, ownly thu previous generations have known how to sound-out wordz, while the entirety of the new generations have been compelled to learn reading and writing by memory; in other words, they all memorize the spelling by the appearance -OR- instead, they adopt Hairitaje Inglish which is a direct spin-off from transliteration that spells all words exactly as they sound and/or are pronounced. Thus, in a few common examples of it, the Prescriptive English word "of" that is spoken with NIETHER of its written consonants, is written / typed exactly as it's pronounced, and that being as "
uv", and the same with "as" that is written with only one of the consonants that it's pronounced with, and that being "
az" instead of "as" that in fact is only a
one "s" donkey, , and
also with "is" that commonly is pronounced with a "
z" instead of an "s" and thus, they write it "
iz", and because "inste
ad" has a vowel that is not pronounced, they spell it "
insted" & "because" likewise, they spell with only what
it's pronounced with, and that being "
becuz" -OR- they ignor the "be", replace it with an apostrophe "
' " and write because as, "
'cuz ", a
new kind uv
contraction, and an
other iz "th
ey" that becuz it's NEVER pronounsed with an "e", they spell it "
thay", with an "a", thu vowel that it's pro
nounced / pro
nounsed with, and that
same rea
soning / rea
zoning being why the "c" in pronoun
ced, thay replase with an "s" az also they / thay do in "repla
se", becuz Hairitaje Inglish haz thu
one / wun and
only / ownly standard uv writing / printing
exactly az spoken / pronounsed.<>My
self having a professor's standing in Prescriptive English like as is common at Balmoral, about two years ago, on then learning of the fact via a CDN government publication, that less than half of CDN's are literate in Prescriptive English, realizing that with MY education, I could NOT stand
WITH the majority of CDN's that are illiterate, I decided the least I could do is attempt to stand
FOR them, and
since then, I've adopted common use of "
Hairitaje Inglish", that of
spelling words
as they'
re p
ronounced, because the CDN gov't promotes despite and harrasssment and belittling of all those that its legislation has made illiterates out of by
banning the
teaching of fonics in school, and a few years ago, in
creased that standard of NO standard, by legislating that the learning of ANY cirriculum is NOT necessary; all that is required NOW in CDN schools to be promoted to the next grade, is that the student patiently keep the seat warm and obediently tolerate the need to sit still and quiet throughout each class time, whether by reading comics or playing a computer game, unless instead, staying out in the school yard is preferable, so long as they at least are AT school so they're attendance can be recorded, & THAT being
ALL that is required now to be awarded a graduation certificate at the end of the school year, , , because Canada's gov't says it's unfairly discriminatory to compel children to learn anything, , YET, only a few weeks ago, even the prime minister published a scathing report AGAINST all that have adopted Hairitaje Inglish, because of having been reared in a society wh
ere / whair th
e / thu school
s / school
z do NOT hav
e / hav fonics classe
s / classe
z that teach th
e / th
u basics of Prescriptive English, beginning with our al
phabet / al
fabet, and how it consists of consonants and vowel
s / vowel
z, and the name of each and the commonly pronounced sound of each - "
NUN" of that has been TAUGHT in Canadian schools for MORE than
FORTY YEARS, , and the re
sult / re
zult, iz that NOW more than HALF of CDNs have taught themselvez Hairitaje Inglish, that uv
speling wordz az comonly thay are pronounsed, and be
cuz in
most casez d
oubled consonants are not revealed in the speaking, , most often d
oubled / dubled consonants are not used, such az in "
wil" & "
shal". Most of us know that "
all" requirez 2 "
l's", but that with
out the "
all"
sound when pronounced, it requires o
wnly
one "
l".<>So, Dick or Richard, THAT iz thu rea
zon for yor dificulty in atempting to READ my letterz,
because I hav taken a stand for thu majority uv Canadians "OPENLY", because thu CDN gov't haz created an UNDER-ground of more than HALF of its people that are genuinely AFRAID to reveal that they do NOT know how to read or write fluently, and the Canadian Gov't published a report about ten years ago, revealing that more than half of its citizenry is below the grade 2 level of primary school in reading and writing, but yet permitting such to be graduated from university would you believe. In Canada wh
ere / wh
air it's common for 70% of all medical diagnosis to be in total error, a passing grade in medical school iz 60%, , but to become a veterinarian, an animal doctor, requirez a passing grade of 95%. Maybe THAT explains why the U.S. will acsept new veterinarianz frum Canada, but NIETHER new doctorz nor teacherz.<>LEARNING Hairitaje Inglish iz vairy simple. All it requirez iz that you SPELL wordz A
S / A
Z th
ey / th
ay are pronoun
ced / pronoun
sed. Whereas Translation reveals the meaning, Transl
iteration reveals the pronounciation, , that being HOW thu word iz spoken. Thus, Hairitaje Inglish haz no need
of /
uv thu d
ouble / duble & triple standardz of Prescriptive English that dictate by many diferent memori
sed r
ule
s / r
ool
z, WHICH word
s / word

s" or a "
t" dubled and insted, SPEL thu word on thu WUN / ONE plain and simple standard uv / of HOW it i
z / i
s PRONOUN
CED / PRONOUN
SED. <> So, hopefully, it's MY intent to make it easy /
eezee for thu majority uv CDN's to come OUT uv thair Hairitaje Inglish closets and NOT any longer feel thu need to HIDE thu fact that thay've chozen Hairitaje Inglish over Prescriptive English that thu CDN gov't haz for so long now legislatively neglected thu foundations teaching of /
uv. Henseforth on the forums, I'll attempt to remember that because most of you are NOT CDN's, that re
sultantly, MOST of you shall prefer Prescriptive English that although has become a little slower for me to type now, shall help me to maintain BOTH dialects in memory and THANKS Dick, for bringing that to my attention.
