That's right, or as it is better known, 'The Sodomy'. Can't believe Jerry had a problem giving mouth-to-mouth, after all the other stuff that went on in that episode.

THE POOL GUY IS THE EPISODE WHERE KRAMER DOES MOVIE PHONE.

YAH HE IS HOW DID YOU FIND MY HOMEPAGE

Hehe, we've already tried to explain this to him on several occasions. "Bahareh2001n" is seemingly impervious to such ideas.

You can filter out his messages, or do what I do and look forward to them as refreshing bits of kookiness. I find Bahareh2001n to be incredibly funny, even if it's unintentional. Kinda' like Mahir, the "I kiss you!!!!!" guy.

Right, sorry. I mean, "SORRY!" :-)

I AM A SHE NOT A HIM. ITS LIKE YOU ARE CALLING ME KRAMER INSTEAD OF ELAINE.

More like we call you Rainman instead of Rainwoman.

I was thinking something more along the lines of Babu Baat for some reason... For someone who likes "Sienfeld" so much you'd think she can spell the name right!! But at least her whole home page isn't done in CAPS LOCK!!! I too look forward to these posts for such kookiness. ;)

You'd think he'd spell the name of his favorite show correctly.....on second thought, the mispelling seem quite appropriate.....

Nah, I'm not. I've seen it spelt all types of ways, Seinfield, Signfeld, Zineveld. (I made that last one up).

Sure they are correct. One is a type of wheat and the other is the past tense of "spell".

No, "spelt" IS a correct synonym of "spelled":

    spelt: v. A past tense and a past participle of spell
    (http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=spelt)

Both "spelt" and "spelled" come from the Old English word "spelian".

You're confused because "spelt" can ALSO be a type of wheat. However, it comes from the Latin word "spelta". This is an example of a word with two meanings that looks the same, but has two completely different etymologies. Another example is the word "can", which is both the past tense of "could" (derived from the Old English "cunnan", meaning "to know how") and a type of cylindrical metal container (derived from the Middle English "canne", which was a water container).

If you're interested in etymology and linguistics, I recommend a great book I'm reading right now called "The Mother Tongue: English & How It Got That Way" by Bill Bryson.

(Thanks John, Lets say I will agree with anyone who uses "spelt" instead of "spelled" if they know what a "past participle" is. So don't let anyone use it unless they really know what they doing. Without the proper training it can be very dangerous.) :-) :-)

I sure leapt into that one - or is it leaped? Damn! :-) :-)

Unfortunately modern dictionaries have (statedly) taken the road of mirrring
common speech; and not as being tomes of "correct" speech.    So I will buy my
Organically grown spelt breads and maintain my hope that atleast "a lot" will
remain two words in dictionaries to come.  We have already lost the war, albeit,
recently to "alright"  :-)  what's next?  abit?   alittle?  :-)   :-)

Ah yes, the argument for "descriptive" vs "prescriptive" dictionaries. If they begin to include "alot", hopefully they'll at least note that it's generally considered incorrect. :-)

I'm still a bit (abit? like my ABIT BH6 motherboard?) disappointed that we've lost the infer/imply war. Next thing you know, we'll find out that up is down, black is white, good is...

But that's how languages evolve. It can be disconcerting (like I said, I'm not too happy about infer/imply), but nothing can stop such evolution and nothing ever has. For example, you can see from the etymologies in my previous message that our modern words are quite different from the original versions. And the infer/imply thing ("contranym"--a homonym with two opposite definitions) isn't new: look at "sanction" (approval or punishment?), "cleave" (cut in half or join together?), "fast" (moving quickly, or stuck?), "ravish" (enrapture, or rape?), and many more.

Yet English is still the most versatile language in the world, with the largest vocabulary and the greatest capacity for expressing subtle shades of meaning. It did not end up this way under the draconian oversight of a language academy like the French. They have the advantage of more uniform spelling and less "definition drift" over time, but their language is also largely stagnant. And if they DO come up with words we like... well, we'll just steal them. :-) Didja' know that "panache" is now largely an English word, since the French never use it? If ya' snooze, ya'lose!

But at least we "language snobs" can take comfort that the changes in existing words we're noticing today are far more limited and occur much more slowly than in the past. If you go back a few hundred years, you'll see that radical and widespread evolution in spelling, pronunciation, and meaning occurred sometimes in just a generation or two. Furthermore, it often varied significantly from town to town; sometimes people from villages 20 miles apart spoke dialects so different from each other that they were unable to recognize the other's language as English. Kinda' makes the color/colour thing seem not so bad, eh? And for every "loss" our language experiences due to shifted meanings or spellings (as in imply/infer or "alot"), it gains so much more in borrowed words, new words, changed words, etc. Hell, just look at all the euphemisms we now have for being fired from one's job! :-)

Correct, at least it was. Much of that richness in English is due to the Norman invasion of 1066 bringing French and Norse(?) - (that is why northern France is "Nor man dy" - them there northern Frenchie guys was originally Vikings) So the Anglo Saxon mixing with the Teutonic and Romance langauges gives us so many roots for similar ideas - like "regal/royal" (romance) and "king"(teutonic) for similar ideas.

Of course it is. I agree with Jown T.; langauge changes; what was identified as misuse twenty years ago is acceptable today. That in itself is not bad. What I find disheartening is that so many of the changes are mindless, convergences of words.

. . . It's like, you know, our langauge is like getting poorer; its like amazing. . . ============================== Let me give you an example of "acceptable" misuse. When I went to school (in the OLD days) we had to correct sentences such as...

"Each person is responsible for their own luggage."

The correct answer they wanted then was . . . "Each person is responsible for his own luggage." and the "his" could be masculine or feminine. But "they" was plural and did not agree with the singular subject "Each person".

However through the changes promoted by feminist pressures [and that is okay by me] the "his" had to become the cumbersome "his or her". Well, that is too awkward so most people now just say "their" and we all accept it. ==================================== Another change we will see happening is the disappearance of the objective first person "me". So many people got corrected when they said things like . . . "Jane and me went to the mall." they now always us "I" even if it is not warranted. For example it is proper to say. "Between you and me, he drives too fast." But the media, not knowing when the "me" is correct will always use "I". And if they are not sure they throw in the extremely incorrect reflexive "myself'. Knowing when to use "Me" or "I" is too complicated - so we lost another "richness". It will always be "I". ==================================== Language does change. What I dislike is that so much of it is changing for ignorant, not intellectual, reasons. =============================

Just my 1.34 cents.

But surely not prescriptively? (I should have been more specific in my question) My own dictionary describes the misuse as common but incorrect. If you're talking about losing a war on people using it in speech I'd have to concur - but I don't think that war is worth fighting (often on Usenet I get called pompous and asked "do you speak that way?" :) "Um - no") . But if we're talking about accepting it in formal writing. I don't see that as being desirable or necessary.

(in the

Perfection in language is often difficult but again if *I* were writing formally I'd avoid either this or "his or her". I'd probably write "Everyone is responsible...".

That one is v. annoying. But the one that bugs me the most - and is apparently ubiquitous even on the BBC news - are sentences like "Being a hugely successful team, Manchester United players are renowned throughout the world."

But I don't accept that we can ever say that is correct or acceptable, however much it is used because then you end up with things like "Being the less famous, Alec Baldwin's brother Stephen..." And you don't know who is supposedly less famous.

--TF

If I remember correctly, that wouldn't avoid the problem since "everyone" (especially as used in your example) is technically singular, not plural. You'd still have to use "his" with its gender issues, "his or her" which can be clumsy, or "their" which is technically incorrect.

hey, your not trying to hype your own book up are you? You dont write under the name Bill Bryson?

Mike , I recommend a great book

LOL! No, if it was my book, I'd start a few dozen threads promoting it before I deny any connection to it...
