      " " is spelled " i n q u i r i e s " where I come from ( and my spellchecker thinks so too )

    But not in the country from which the language originated and is named.

    Ah but let's not forget the relatively  unusual ability of English to survive misuse with intelligibility intact, and if misused in the same manner often enough to absorb the variant into its already bulging panoply.

    You could be right young Meg. Perhaps there is some reason that the word "English" is so similar to the word "England", and is indeed the same word used to describe the inhabitants thereof?

    Indeed. Just as long as the misused spelling is not claimed to be proof that the original spelling is wrong. And I will happily refute any claim made by any spellchecker. Some random spellchecker from a random source is not the judge of correct spelling.  The Oxford English Dictionary is the law in this area.

    While I am in full accord with most of that (certainly the second point) the first is somewhat problematical in that 'correct' English must always be referenced to a point in time, it is, and always has been a moving target, such is its strength. While France tasked L'Academie to keep French what it never was English just forged ahead, adopting new words as fast as it could conquer. Quelle horreur

    My grandkids listen to FM every time they are in a car. The broadcasters are indeed attempting to protect their "turf". As I and many have stated, it is not about "market" it is about "availability" when needed or desired. I personally exclude myself from the group, as I choose a "customer friendly" device and carrier - hoping that the tornado doesn't Dallas devastate Dallas again like it did when I was a kid. Ask folks in Illinois whether they would have liked to have an FM radio in their pocke

    Good point. I must admit to being petty... but in future I will try not to be baited into FTT

    Brits (and Texans) are notorious for their slaughter of language. Try to rhyme "Juan" in Byron's Don Juan sometime - comes out " jew-ahn" every time

    Ah Texans, all those additional and unnecessary syllables occupying the available space nicely.

    Law everywhere, for the English language. It would even include the "misused", methinks. Oddly enough, Van - quotemaster @ qotd.org - had this topic today

    Your Quotes of the Day for  - 18 April 2015

     

    The last "fascicle" of the first edition of the Oxford

    English Dictionary was published on this day in 1928, over

    100 of these installments had been released since the first

    one went to press in 1884, the work of six editors and

    hundreds of contributors, including J.R.R. Tolkien and one

    murderer who, unbeknownst to the editors, mailed his work in

    from an asylum for the criminally insane. The OED attempts to

    record every word ever printed in English, including quotes

    to document early uses for each meaning -- their collection

    includes 2.5 million quotes, making my 91,489 seem

    insignificant.
