The Decline Of The English Language

Much has been written on the decline of the English language and where applicable I weigh in my tuppence worth. Our language is changing. It always has been and always will be. Declining? No. Changing? Yes.

That is what I thought, until I saw this.

Not one, but two spelling errors in the Daily Mail advert from the London version of the free morning Metro newspaper on September 21st 2006. “challanged” and “appllingly”? Now, I know that not everyone is the greatest speller, but that’s what you use a spell checker for, right? Possibly they ran out of vowels and when someone actually found an ‘a’ they popped it into the wrong word.

I will also ignore the “Skinny moi?” headline as I no longer have the energy to go into what’s wrong with that… Tok 2 u ltr.
