Hey Laura, where in Stoke are you? I'm from Stoke but live in Australia now x

I'm actually just outside in Newcastle under Lyme, but if I say Newcastle either nobody knows where it is or assumes I mean upon Tyne and I'm just stupid!

Ha ha we were just in-between Chesterton and Bignall End but born and raised in Stoke. I love Aus but do miss oatcakes

As for the spelling of definitely...the dictionary people (lexicographers?) are discussining changing it to definAtely as the vast majority of people spell it that way. Not a good step in language development methinks!

Maybe we should go back to thee thou thy and foreasmuch.....

Urgh, really?! I hope that doesn't go ahead!! I loved studying English Language at A-Level (though I never took it any further) but certainly wouldn't say it is developing for the better! I find it quite frustrating

Edited to add: This just says it all, my little sister was taught to spell definitely this way at school: "Definitely has an 'init' in it, innit?". Makes my blood boil!!

I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who gets irritated by bad grammar and spelling, it REALLY drives me mad. So much so that I actually want to correct badly spelt graffiti!!! Gah!!!

 

[AnnaFaraday]

I am intrigued - which "dictionary people"?

 

[aesir22]

I forget exactly...my friend is doing a doctorate in english language and linguistics and she was telling me about it
