I'm sorry if I offended- it wasn't my intention.
Spending the last couple of months reading e-mails from this most-appreciated
group and adding it to what I hear and over-hear on a daily basis (not to
mention the fact that in most news-papers today including our own Star and
Sickle, one would swear that the average "journalist" writing today had never
taken a class in English grammar) has me ranting up-and-down the room and
throwing things.Everytime I hear a broad-caster say "negossiation" instead of
the correct "negotiation" (nee go shee ay shun) I start muttering about the
complete break-down and imminent loss of the English language I love.
I am blessed (or cursed, as the case may be)
with a minor degree in English literature and a major in interior-
design/historic architecture (hence the sensitivity
to the
drapes/carpet issue) - and what's more, I don't
even approve of carpeting, having spent 39 years designing and creating custom
-inlaid wood floors.
Anyway, I'm not snooty-I just love the
language.
