"Labelled" is Correct Because It's The English Spelling

Last year I watched an episode of Melvin Bragg's History of English on SBS TV in Australia. The narrator spoke of a period in the history of the language where there existed several different spellings for the one word (eg kirk, church, churche, cherche, chyrch, etc). Primarily for legal reasons, there was an attempt at standardisation by "traditionalists" in one camp and proponents of phonetics in another. Unfortunately the traditionalists prevailed. IIRC this occurred around the time when Wycliffe translated the Bible into English. I can't find any definitive Google references, though. - Franc Zabkar Get done with this, there is also the Australian brand of English just as there deep south English in the states. You can't make a war out of nothing. Bill Baka |
