I'm less reminded of having an adblocker when not logging in, and when logged in, I have to remember to log out - no I don't want stars ... that's funny, Maggie

And also, I just tried to log in, and realized that my credentials are securely placed in my office, while I am in the loungeroom, notebook on lap, watching 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, and don't want to get up, run down the hallway to retrieve my credentials to log in ... I think the real tasmanianartist (if I were an imposter) would very soon send me to the guillotine; trust me, I know.
I enjoy the discussions regardless, and don't mind picking pictures on the Captcha thing ...

The st/scht at Stäge/Schtäge is in my opinion more a question of orthography: Bernese spelling; Dieth spelling; reformed Dieth spelling; Schobinger's spelling; Noth's spelling (north of the Rhine), ... There was a time when all the nobility spoke French. That the people imitated them - who can blame them? So did "excusez" become "exgüsi" or "quelle heure est-il?" "gellerettli". By this I mean living language that evolves. Or if (with the German standard language) the dictionary editors have included errors, which were all too often also printed, in the dictionary (Duden) after some years. But when a few selected language popes change the language as they see fit (so-called "spelling reform"), which was then reformed seven times because of many protests - or when, as in German-speaking Switzerland, the language of a people is simply marginalized, this has little in common with a normal development of language. Even if your dialect was not "pure" in 1977: Compared to today, it is certainly presentable. All the more so if you look up uncertainties in the Idiotikon! I read to my son from children's books that already existed in my time: "Über di goldig Brugg" by Mrs von der Crone; stories by Mrs Sempert (you could always listen to them on the story telephone at the Cantonal Bank while the mother was standing in line). English is peppered with words from all over the world and have been in use for so long most people don't realise it. It often explains why some words seem to have strange to some spellings.

""Agree: "...when...the language of a people is simply marginalized, this has little in common with a normal development of language." My husband, born Australian, now 70 years of age, gets quite upset when he hears 'new-age' English: 'We did not learn that at school!' Or similar. That's 'living language', evolving with the times."
What does he consider to be new English? Some words, etc., are older than people assume. They often simply rebirth. LOL and OMG, for examples, are not at all new.

Hello And Kevin 2024 - what he is referring to is 'the old Queen's English' grammar and spelling taught at Australian schools post war. He wouldn't have a clue what LOL and OMG mean. Early Australian Television presenters were required to have a proper English accent, not the 'stroin of today, let alone the cyber language of abbreviations. People walking along staring at a gismo in their hands, with their thumbs doing nervous ticking is an alien sight (even to me - I wear garlic around my neck so they don't eat me ... well, I don't, but, you know, I could, or they could ...) After almost 40 years he's used to my mangled English, but he excuses that with me not being of Anglo-Saxon descent. But when it comes to writing (drawers vs draws, night vs nite, etc), or race callers on TV using 'long and difficult words' that hitherto were reserved for the academic circles, he shakes his head. |

Hello justkevin - what he is referring to is 'the old Queen's English' grammar and spelling taught at Australian schools post war. He wouldn't have a clue what LOL and OMG mean.
the two examples LOL and OMG even predate telegraphs. Not sure what the old Queen's English would be, because 'normal' English is still taught in UK schools. You have to go back a long long way to find a great difference. Prior to schools and standardisations no doubt, forsooth.
Early Australian Television presenters were required to have a proper English accent,
the same in the UK in fact. BBC English. Possibly because most of the presenters at the time were posh, and they assumed that only the posh could afford radios and TVs. Which is true!
not the 'stroin of today,
I assume there it's the same as here. As more and more regional radio and TV stations opened up, the listeners and viewers expected regional people on them. Speak like wot they do, like. The media is also no longer dominated by people who 'spoke with a plum in their mouth'.
let alone the cyber language of abbreviations.
Well, people don't actually speak in abbreviations do they? And if they wrote like that at school they would be seriously frowned on. I blame Twatter for how some communicate via phones and whatnot. Originally each posting could have a very limited number of characters.
People walking along staring at a gismo in their hands, with their thumbs doing nervous ticking is an alien sight (even to me - I wear garlic around my neck so they don't eat me ... well, I don't, but, you know, I could, or they could ...)
It is very annoying, and it's not just kids because they have been doing it a long time now. I often tell one of my sons off when I visit him. Put that thing down and pay attention! He's 34. Although he types in full English when texting me.
After almost 40 years he's used to my mangled English, but he excuses that with me not being of Anglo-Saxon descent.
Gosh, don't use that term when speaking to some Americans. They assume you mean you are a member of the KKK!
But when it comes to writing (drawers vs draws, night vs nite, etc), or race callers on TV using 'long and difficult words' that hitherto were reserved for the academic circles, he shakes his head.
many novels written yonks ago used some very long words, fallen out of common use now because, well they are so long I suppose! Then again, people who could write in those days were often very well, and classically, educated, unlike the great unwashed.
