Hi, Ardith Hinton! I read your message from 07.07.2019 23:44 AH> I hear the above in many popular songs from the US. I also note AH> with interest that our neighbours to the south tend to shorten the AH> spelling of words like "cheque" and "neighbour", in an apparent AH> attempt to simplify the language. What I don't understand is the AH> tendency to leave out "of" in stock phrases like "a couple of" only AH> to add it where others wouldn't use it... e.g. "inside of" & "off AH> of". I have requested MODERN AMERICAN USAGE from the public AH> library. :-) Is "check and neighbor" a tendency to shorten? It is just the American spelling which is differ from the British/Canadian one. Bye, Ardith! Alexander Koryagin english_tutor 2019 --- * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0) |
