Default Other peoples cat's - OT response

Hello my friends hello (neil diamond the jazz singer)

Well Mr. W Sheakespeare would have understood the dialect of a place near
where I live,

The local dialect in the black country is reputed to be as close to old
anglo saxon as we can make out.
Even Dr. Carl Chinn speaks black country but with a Birmingham accent.
and the spelling of some words used are usually written phonetically
hence
Wem bay be gooin t shaps
We are not going shopping
I dare say if I started typing as They talk arand heya there would be a "lot
of letters to the editor" about the misuse of the english language.
BUT what is the correct version of the english language, yours or mine or
the academics who designed an almost mathematical formulae for setting
letters in the correct order.
My view is that english is still evolving, after nothing stays the same, or
we would all have webbed feet, or fins according to Darwin
Now shall we discuss the use of TXTing language???
Not tonight I have just done 12 hour shift and am too tired( thank goodness
says everyone)
If your still awake and have read this far.
I bid you a fond goodnight and happy gardening weather tomorrow, just seen
time, I meant TODAY
Kindest regards
Cineman

There is little question that language is still evolving....I wonder what
Sheakspeare would thing of todays English....I really wonder what
authority has the absolute right to state what is proper and what is
not....is the spelling of color incorrect.....perhaps spelling is a
different subject from grammar but never-the-less an indicator of
change...for better or worse.....H
