Correct. You don't get it, by choice. Perfectly
good explanations have been given, but you have
decided to be too much of a **** to understand.
Your fault, your problem.

I think you meant that, with vowels, the tongue and lips are held in
a certain position for the duration of the sound. This isn't so for
consonants, including the "y" in "yes" or "youth."


That is, indeed, what I meant.

Sadly, Magda, the opinion of someone English mother tongue is worth
more. Sorry!

Nah, it's an English speakers newsgroups. I don't mind reading the odd
bit of swahili stuff here, but it's 99.5% English, and should be
treated as such.

And "swahili stuff" is insulting.

LOL! Yeah, sure, who is going to feel insulted by that?

Black Africans and Europeans

I very much doubt it. It's a phrase I use often in speech (to mean
anything that's not Anglo) and it has never caused offence.

Will you please say that in proper English?

I could, but there is no such thing.

Yes, there is. Padraig, over here - tell him what's missing in that sentence.

Two hyphens.

And I thought this was an English language newsgroup.

You were wrong. It's an International newsgroup, where all
languages are welcome.

I haven't taken the time to find the founding charter to
the newsgroup, but newsgroups usually have a language
specified. English named groups typically have english
as their designated language.


True, most people here are English-speaking, and your chances of
getting a useful reply to a question are better if you can post
in English. But that's not a requirement, and nobody should be
discouraged from posting in whatever language he can...

Technically they should. It is such a rare occurance,
that it really isn't a bother, but if there was a significant
amount of off language traffic it would have much the
same effect as commercial traffic.


...except for spammers, of course, like this one. Spammers should
be discourged from posting at all. And if they do post, posting
in a language that many people here can't read is the preferred
way to do it.

"Whose" and "is".
Plus a bit of rearranging words around, too.

(Not that he can tell "whose" from "who's", of course... LOL)

When fixing things, change as little as possible. My solution meets
that criterion.

Mine too.

Then why do you spend your time correcting trivial typos and
grammatical errors?


Especially since she's the person who wrote, in another thread
today, "I *love* the Insight Guides - but I liked their previous
format better, when it had a tad less pictures and much more
information."

That of course should be "fewer pictures," not "less pictures."
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

You mean Anglos look down on everybody who is not Anglo ? No wonder
'American' is synomimous with 'monolingual'.
