facthunter Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I've an excuse to permit me to point out bad spelling. I've marked thousands of exam papers and assignments. It's an automatic reaction... Nev Edited December 19, 2023 by facthunter 2
old man emu Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 On 19/12/2023 at 3:12 AM, facthunter said: to point out bad spelling Expand Actually, one can only point out incorrect spelling. Correct spelling is the representation of sounds using letters of the alphabet as indicated by the consensus of the social group the written word is directed towards. Therefore "kwik" in the business name "Kwik Print" is a correct spelling of the sounds speaker of the English language interpret to mean rapidity. A person whose attempts at reproducing sounds by using the alphabet are often at odds with the consensus can be described as a "bad speller", and the examples of departure are the facts that prove the assertion. Conversely, a person who efforts at this task consistently reflect the consensus can be called a "good speller". 1
facthunter Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 Yeah some run that argument but you lose the word structure and meaning. I don't see it as desirable to forfeit that benefit. Phonetics is OK for getting the pronunciation "'near" acceptable, especially with a language like French, where you think you've got it and they are rolling around with Laughter. I don't go for the Led Zed Lern. thing. and never did. That's when I left teaching. Nev 1
