The English language is always changing and evolving - Shakespeare coined over 4000 new words* in his works. Other writers make up words all the time.

See... that is why I hated the subject! All these rules... with exceptions!!! Give me good old math and science where the rules are rules and don't change!!! I love me some good Calculus!!!

i use the term "wobblecotted" to describe something thats uneven or not sitting or fitting just right.
i dont even remember where i heard that but ive been saying it for years.

Crispify = to make (food) crispy
E-tard = online retard (ie: forum members)

Hi Lonnie...

I teach English Literature.

I've got several Degrees hanging on my wall--- all having to do with English.

You're dead to me.

Science vs. the Arts.

It's on... Like Donkey Kong.

My best subjects were Math and Science! Love Physics, Calculus, logic problems, etc. Can't spell worth a darn and was never good at grammar, but I do like Literature! I can read me some books!!! Better?

English not being my native language, I still -- after over 45 years -- find it just as perplexing as it was when I was actively learning it. In fact, I'm still learning it. All the exceptions to the rules, and its often illogical structure, makes it one of the hardest languages to learn IMO. But I love the dynamic nature of American English....no stagnation.

cattywhompered -- all screwed up; not fitting as in: "I tried to put this dress together from a pattern but all the darts are cattywhompered and I wound up sewing/attaching the sleeve piece to the bottom hem!"

frijijer -- the large, wall cabinet-sized kitchen appliance that keeps foodstuffs cold.

In a time long ago we spoke with the correct pronunciation but slowly things changed and now we dont even speak the english language anymore we speak Australian,mate i'm telling ya.

I teach English and still degenerate the English Language on a daily basis. Read my posts in these forums, I make up new words on a daily basis. Reason why especially since I correct kids on a daily basis of their mistakes? The English language doesn't own me, words don't own me....my speech is Indomitable.

Man, I hope you made all those grammatical errors on purpose - otherwise those kids are doomed!


I always preferred English over the sciences, taught college freshman English for a semester as a grad student - it was enough to get off the teaching track completely.

I've always liked "jiggerypokery" I think it's a Buffyism, but I'm not sure. The Whedonverse is rife with new-found verbiage.
