Probably White christian middle class Brits are to blame.



Reports of "facial burns" and a passenger rush to escape emerged Friday
morning after an explosion occurred at a subway station in southwest
London.

Police are treating the case as an act of terrorism, according to
statement
by Met Police.

"My thoughts are with those injured at Parsons Green and emergency
services
who are responding bravely to this terrorist incident," tweeted British
Prime Minsiter Theresa May.



It's not a subway blast. It was on the London Underground.* We speak
English not American here.

The first reports tend to suggest it wasn't a suicide bomber and the
bomb was not a very effective one. That does point towards a white
middle class Brit, surely.

Because you're adding the "mis" to the actual word. Thus, spell is it's
own word and the prefix "mis" connects to the word "spell" which starts
with the "s" creating the two esses together. Still no difference than
your examples of "mis"type, "mis"read, etc.

Yes, that's one of those words that I always can't remember

It's hardly important. The one I can never remember is
tarrif/tariff.
There's no logical reason for the double letter on one consonant

the other.

And 'buffoon'?

and of course there is:

baloon (Jack Dee style)

Jack Dee?


Keep up, will you. He's an English comedian. I'm not sure if 'English
comedian' is a tautology or oxymoron though I lean toward the latter.

I am familiar with Jack Dee, but I fail to see why he'd adjust the
spelling of words.

well he (or his producer) did

I have no idea what you're referring to.

you think I care?

No need for the letter "C" also. Or yet, the "PH" for "F" sound.

Yes indeed, but how come misspelt has two eses in the middle yet
mistake
mistype and misread have only one.
Also pluses and buses have only one, which has never looked correct to
me.
Even the word *eses* feels to me that it should be esses.

Or is it just me? :-)

Agreed. The language needs to evolve to be more logical. Everybody
start typing more sensibly and ignore the rules!

If you wanted a logical language you'd be speaking German rather than
that *******ized mishmash of a language you Brits foisted on the world.

How is it logical to assign a sex to a word?

It isn't

because where linguistics are concerned the term is "gender" (which despite
an explosion in common usage is NOT a synonym for sex)

I pronounce it loo-ten-uh nt.

Taliaferro isn't an English word.

Yes, the English language is a mess and considered one of the hardest

Wrong.

Why is Taliaferro pronounced Toliver?

Who?

Why is English so screwed up?

Because too many people have OCD and spell and pronounce "properly"
instead of relaxing the rules to make it more logical.

I pity the poor immigrant.

I would never pity an immigrunt.

Nah, I was less than a year old and learned it like I was speaking it
all my life.

I had missed opportunities. My grandparents were from Poland but never
spoke it to us as kids but I wish they had when it was too late. I
picked up a few words from their conversations with my parents. In
high school I was given two years of Latin but now wish I would have
fought to take Spanish as it would have helped in real life.

Learning anything, even a language, as a child is easier to adapt.
Learning as an adult is the complicated part. Thus, adults who don't
speak it and try to learn it are incapable of comprehending the basic
structures such as possessives vs contractions, homonyms and as I stated
before, the "c" and "ph" usage, just to name a few.

Because you're adding the "mis" to the actual word. Thus, spell is
it's
own word and the prefix "mis" connects to the word "spell" which
starts
with the "s" creating the two esses together. Still no difference
than
your examples of "mis"type, "mis"read, etc.

Explain Mississippi.


Sissippi is not a word. If you need explanation, you're a bigger tool
than you originally display.

I didn't ask about Sissippi, I asked why Mississippi needs double
letters.


Why is the "w" silent in Sword?

Don't aks me, my name's Hucker.


The same reason Missouri uses two esses, and Matterhorn uses two tees
and tomorrow uses two arz and so on.
