What is the correct spelling for the word which is phonetically spelled "vwah lah"? In usage it would be synonomous with eureka, discover, find, etc. I had thought that it was spelled "viola", but I find no dictionary references to validate my thoughts. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I did strike in many places of my exam paper. Will there any deduction of marks for that? First I wrote the word, but the spelling was wrong so I stroke and wrote again below that correct spelling. Please correct my sentences and also suggest me a good version. I crossed out a lot of words in many places on my exam paper. Will any marks be deducted for that? First I wrote the word, but the spelling was wrong so I crossed it out and wrote it again below, with the correct spelling. Clive

Re: Exact spelling of resume

anonymous — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:50:53 GMT

The correct spelling is "résumé", as it is a noun deriving from the French verb "résumer" (="summarise/-ize"). Hence, résumé = summary / summarised/-ized (masculine), i.e. a summary of one's professional life. Sérgio Duarte <<ULR removed by mod>>

Re: How to use dash, colon, semicolon ?

feebs11 — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:16:32 GMT

Thank you so much ! The website helps a lot ! Hmmm ... but ... the site said that dash can be used to emphasize on a point . Can it be use on any point? Does it have to be a sentence or can it be just a phrase ? E.g . But we managed to get out in time - I hoped . (acceptable?) <-- is this emphasizing on a point? Acceptable - and indicating a pause for effect when spoken She just stood there, not moving - at all - not until we move . (What about this?) <-- a phrase ? If written as: not moving at all - not until we moved , then it is fine. I think the use of the dash to emphasize a point is better shown as: There are several things to be considered - correct spelling, correct grammar, correct usage. ...

Also, if this is Cheyenne, Wyoming, note the correct spelling.

My justification, they have an opportunity to kayak during the vacation though the weather is not favorable but it's still doable. 3. This may be difficult to answer.

Re: Looking for spelliing software.

flexicap11 — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:18:50 GMT

Hi “Anonymous”, WordWeb is a free software which you can download and install in your PC. It is a dictionary that also suggests words in case your input is wrongly spelled. That is to say- you do not necessarily need to have the correct spelling of a word to find it and to get its definition in WordWeb. There are also many online dictionaries that do the same. The only advantage of WordWeb is that it works offline (even if you are not connected to the internet) since the database is implanted in your hard drive at installation. WordWeb can be downloaded from: http://wordweb.en.softonic.com/ I hope this helps. Cheers, Flexicap11

Re: Is American English lazy English?

"I much prefer the attitude of the British. They have enough respect for the language to use correct spelling, clear enunciation and to observe the correct use of prepositions and general grammar. On the other hand, some Americans seem to like reinventing the language as they go." To use a British word, bollocks! Americans at least pronounce all the syllables in words like "territory" and "secretary". Most of them also pronounce the letter "r" in all positions, where standart British English no longer does. They speak at a slower pace than British English, and as a British English teacher, I am told by my foreign students invariably that they find American English easier to understand. Their pronunciation is closer to the London...

Hello, welcome to the forum. I just wanted to let you know that you are more likely to get a response if your post includes capital letters and punctuation, and avoids abbreviations like "how r u" and "plz." I don't mean to offend you -- but the people here are all volunteers, and we choose how we want to spend out time. Many people will be more inclined to help you if you make an effort to use standard English. Correct spelling is also a plus -- of course we don't expect English learners to spell everything perfectly, and typos do happen to everyone, but if you are studying linguistics you should at least know it is not ligustic. Also, although personally I am not familiar with "reduplication," it sounds like the Linguistics section...

Re: ...but I thought it'd be useless to start a new one.

califjim — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:03:41 GMT

Many languages change the spellings of words they borrow from other languages so that the borrowed words are spelled in conformance to the spelling rules of the borrowing language. English is not one of these. As long as the original language uses the same alphabet as English, English usually accepts borrowed words exactly as they are spelled in their original language, without changes, even if the letters are pronounced differently in the other language. (So Pacino is spelled the same in English as it is in Italian. ci has the chee sound in Italian, so we say the chee sound for ci in words borrowed from Italian.) Therefore, to pronounce English well, it is necessary to understand, at least to some small degree, how the...

Re: wish clauses

yoong liat — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 21:39:32 GMT

Hi Amy What you've just posted is what I always believe in. As I told Goodman earlier, English is evolving, and correct usage depends very much on what is used by the majority. Once the usage is used over a long period of time, it becomes accepted usage. It may surprise some members that 'forty' was spelled 'fourty' long, long ago. 'Fourty' was the correct spelling then. However, somehow the 'u' was dropped and the new version is 'forty'. You've given a very good reply to Goodman, and I agree with everything that you said. Best wishes.

Re: repeated topics

yoong liat — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:30:10 GMT

To me, repeated questions are fine. We usually forget what we have been told once. So repeated questions are like going through what we've learned and they enable to remember better. One more advantage is that there are new menbers. They will benefit from the questions that have been asked before. To the new members, the answer to the repeated question is something new to them and if they don't know the answer, they will benefit. To give one example, the word 'grammar' is often spelled wrongly as 'grammer' and although Clive and I have told the members the correct spelling, we still see the word wrongly spelled by both the old and new members. That's all I've to say.

Re: "fella" When do I use this word properly?

eimai_anglos — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:21:34 GMT

The correct spelling is "fellow", although you may see it written as "fellah" or "fella" and it is often pronounced as "fella". The word "fellow" has fallen out of fashion but it used to be used a lot in the context "I know a fellow who might help you." Or "I know a fellow who has a dog for sale". An exact equivalent is "chap" but, nowadays "guy" is more often heard. However, I believe that the word "guy" comes originally from America. Back in the nineteen fifties (and earlier) the word "fellow" was not considered to be slang or colloquial. It was used directly in place of "man".
