@LanguageCrawler I think that smtms is really annoying way to write sometimes!
@LanguageCrawler That book is pretty ridiculous! (I say this as a former president of the ATA.)
@LanguageCrawler Speaking of books on Amazon, I’m wondering whether you have a copy of Wörterbuch deutscher Präpositionen, which sells for a paltry $601. 🤪

@UweMuegge In The Hague, Denmark??
@LanguageCrawler I purchased this book and it is teeming with errors: spelling errors, translation errors and grammatical errors. It needs to be overhauled and republished.
@anglopremier Et tu le traduis comment ?
@bdfrancq Considerate means kind and polite, always thinking of others 🧐
@GrammarTable If I were going to fake a British accent (yikes!) I would say “called” because I hear Brits saying that where we would say “named”!
@GrammarTable Another book you might enjoy is the one that claims that grammar is different in the UK than in the US, e.g., “He insisted that I went” means one thing in UK and something else in US!
@GrammarTable PS Maybe “why sing sang sung but not bring brang brung?” Maybe that’s a mystery? Although not really.
@GrammarTable What’s an example of a mystery of English grammar ? I can’t think of one off the top of my head.
@anglopremier Never mind. I just saw this: "Dependent" is the dominant form in American English for both the noun and adjective, while in British English, "dependant" is more common for the noun.
@anglopremier That’s weird. He misspelled dependent!
@anglopremier Does PerfectIt flag this as an error?
@anglopremier Are you thinking of South African English (shame! or shampies in Afrikaans)? A sinvergüenza is a shameless person.
