i appreciate your input on my spelling. if that is all you found mistaken in my english, then maybe you didnt learn too much in school. but who am i to assess on your english? or your learning in school?
this is what should be addressed better in this forum. the remarks people do to one another, absolutely off-topic and as much in need of intelligence as a teeth show.
in case you havent noticed, this is a forum. not the final dissertation. dont make a parallel between relying an idea and dotting the i, because knowledge of a language has nothing to do with writing an essay. world is full of english teachers, and yet the language looses ground everywhere.
"i bet Newton didn't face your level of exigency when it wrote the Principa- and don't say he didn't know English either, although you may want to mention he used Latin writing the most important book of all time written by an Englishman. isn't that funny?!"
Not funny at all!
The English language hadn't been standardised when Newton was alive, he would have been 113 years old when the "Dictionary of the English Language" was published and the grammar and spellings were standardised, up until then scientific and legal papers were published in Latin, used because it was standardised. Newton's English is actually quite close to our modern English, even his handwriting is easy to read (http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/newton) but there were big variations across the land, and not everyone spoke English anyway, the Cornish in the south west were still speaking Cornish and in the north of modern England people were still speaking Welsh, a much older language than English. The UK has been occupied by humans for at least 800,000 years, we have a lot of history and pre-history including many changes in language use!
I see you didn't correct your use of capital letters! |
