Editors, the Week One Editing Post is up. Thanks guys for all your fantastic help! Another reason to thank you all is for your wonderful support for ROAR! I’m very grateful to all who signed up to participate! Thank you! <3 When I was in college, one of my friends from high school asked me to tutor her in English. As I was interested in teaching English as a second language, I told Young-Joo I would love to tutor her. At the time she was just starting her career as a Pharmacist, and was struggling with pronouncing a lot of the medical terms correctly. Once a week we would work on the words and phrases she needed to be able to pronounce so her customers could understand her more effectively. One of the main words Young-Joo had trouble with was worming. I had no idea at first why this word was so hard, until we talked about why she found it so difficult. She told me that she was pronouncing it the way most other words with 'or' in it were pronounced, which made sense to me. The best way for her to learn to pronounce worming properly was to find a word that it rhymed with, in this case we used perm, which meant with practice she was able to say it correctly. Helping my friend with her English made me realize just how complex the language really is, especially for someone from a non-English speaking background. I began to think about how it could be simplified, starting with spelling words as they sounded, which would avoid the problems my friend had with words like worms. I also think that having one way of spelling words instead of the American and British English would make our language a lot easier to learn. My preference is for American English, as words are spelled as they are pronounced- take center for instance. The British spelling is centre, which makes no sense to me, as it isn't pronounced that way. The British, and Australians, who have adopted the British way of spelling, spell color (colour), favorite (favourite), and words like realize differently also. I’m no linguist, so I don’t understand why there are two different ways to spell words, and which one came first. When I learned to read and write, words were spelled the American way, but at some point things changed to the British English spelling. There’s also learned and learnt, dreamed and dreamt, etc. Does anyone know why we have two different spellings, when the words are identical in meaning? The british also have a different way of pronouncing some words, and, as Australia’s roots lie in the UK, many Australians pronounce words the way the British do. For example, dance is pronounced darnce, and plant is plarnt. It’s all personal preference, and what seems natural. For myself, I pronounced words like dance and plant as they are spelled, as it just sounds wrong to me when an Aussie pronounces them the way the English do. I considered recording some of the different ways Australians pronounce their words, but am feeling a little shy. If anyone really wants me to do this, I could possibly be persuaded to do a voice post… How do you think the English language could be simplified or improved? 1 comment|post comment
