Especially when that person is descended from Tweety Bird.

Great night last night. Good to meet a couple of new faces- DrJohn (an old/new face) and Ciaran (a new/new face).

Ah Adam,dont tell me you believe that the guys who wrote the Oxford book are the ones who own the rights to a language and how it is spelt. I wonder if they are getting royalties still.
Language is a living thing that is always evolving,words change meaning,spelling of words change,what is right is an opinion. Take an example of the young lad who once went to a priest for confession, "Father" say,s he, I once rode a women from Cork","well" said he "isnt it better than walking".

Hahaha!
One good turn deserves another with that 6am Saint bit coming back again!

Plus accents are pronounced; it's just called a spelling mistake when it's written.


accent
—n
1. the characteristic mode of pronunciation of a person or group, esp one that betrays social or geographical origin
2. pitch Compare stress the relative prominence of a spoken or sung syllable, esp with regard to stress or pitch
3. a mark (such as , , ´ or `) used in writing to indicate the stress or prominence of a syllable. Such a mark may also be used to indicate that a written syllable is to be pronounced, esp when such pronunciation is not usual, as in turnèd

I most certainly do, but giving you a hard time in response to your "6am Saint" dig trumps that when necessary; lol!

This is an area that my wife has done a bit of study on and it's actually a really interesting subject. Daniel Webster actually intentionally and systematically changed the spelling of countless words from the Oxford spelling to the modern day "American" spellings for nationalistic reasons; he just wanted "Americans" to have their own spelling that was different than the British. Lol!


A pretty good, concise blog post on it here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.vickihollett.com/?p=3213">www.vickihollett.com/?p=3213

Definitely a living language. ("Unfriend" and "gimongous" are now an official English words)
