Quote from: Be3G ...... you'll find 'yeah' appearing in any respectable dictionary .........
Soon to be replaced by "Yebbut" no doubt
I was educated at a Grammar School and as languages were my first passion, I have ever since been an incorrigible 'Pedant'
As the years passed by, I had increasingly corrected every grammar error I saw or heard until in recent years I have succumbed
to the realisation that a language is not an exact science. Even the German language, for example,
that I learned in school 60 years ago has changed some of its form, such that my german contacts sometimes wonder what I am saying to them.
My present stance on any corrections to any language is more accepting the inevitable.
Language is a means of communication and is a wonderful and exciting part of our life.
Even the Academie Francaise has succumbed to the westernisation of the French Language .
I now accept that errors of grammar and spelling are part of communication which should be accepted and we should be grateful that
we have the ability to communicate with our fellows in whatever way is intelligible to the majority not just to the few pedants like I used to be.
Correction of any written words or groups of words is not acceptable.
If we accept that when we speak or write , our aim is to convey a message and if most of us understand what we are saying or writing, then that is progress.
