[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should we get rid of proper spelling too?  Hu kairs az long az u git tha meening, rit?[/quote]

What is proper English spelling though?  Nobody knows, nor does anyone know why certain words with exact same order of letters are pronounced differently! Sean, Shawn. Anna, with an e, but Armory, with an a![/quote]

Maybe you don't know but others do.  There are reasons for all of these spellings and pronunciations.  That's what etymology is, the history and explanation of words.[/quote]
Ha, ha. I probably know more than you do! After all, I studied Latin, and while I did not study ancient Greek, I studied ancient Greece and learned a ton of words and mythology, and read most poetry. I also studied French, German, English, and Norwegian, in addition to speaking a Slavic language and hence being able to understand several Slavic languages. I can recognize the root of the word in Slavic and English and German and French. Indo-European, no? There is a reason for it. I can even recognize and find the root of most words in Iranian and Indian.[/quote]

Is your native language Russian?  Russian speakers of English notoriously have great difficulty learning the use of definite and indefinite articles in English.[/quote]
