OT – English As The First Language

[quote=bearishgurl]This trait or “handicap” has absolutely NOTHING to do with level of intelligence.

Dyslexic people may misspell, but they don’t speak out words such as “refudiate”.

About language in general, I agree. It has nothing to do with intelligence. But it has to do with education — not just specialized education in a certain area, but broad education.

You have to admit that, from the way people speak, the vocabulary they use, and the way they carry themselves in general, one can infer their level of upbringing.

I have friends who speak English as a second language. They speak with accents, but with impeccable grammar, syntax and vocabulary.

BTW, I think that typing on a blog is different from speaking to the press and making a speech to a large audience. There’s a problem when people speak like they text message.

Let’s face it…English spoken/written in the U.S. is nowhere near as playful and witty as the Queen’s English…So why even bother to pretend?

It was all over when we dropped the “our” from some of the words like color, favor, while keeping it other words like flour… Makes absolutely no sense…(I guess we can’t spell flour as “flor”)…

So, dude, I’ve just, dude, given up speaking/writing proper English, dude. Like, totally, uncool, especially in Southern California. Dude, if someone really spoke proper English, I’d be like whoa, dude…

I am not a looser but I loose my sanity when people loosely co-mingle loose with lose.

flu, some of my Taiwanese friends say that the Chinese from the Mainland are uneducated for using simplified Chinese.

I took some Chinese classes and I was told that it’s important to understand the root of words.

Same goes for English.
