dd,
you may well eat S*. I don`t. Perhaps if you did mix with some Latin students you may not either.

This commentary would carry more weight if it was more correct itself.
For example:

"This is sometimes jokingly exampled "

That looks a little bit lazy to me.

There are others...such as the abandonment of "in which" to be replaced by "Where". And so we get this garrulous and awkward sentence:

"One such person was my Latin teacher who reinforced the understanding and use of this ancient language by devoting one school period each month to the exclusive use of Latin conversation where no or little English was permitted."
We can work it out. but it's not at all clear at first what the 'where' even refers back to.

I do share an exasperation with ABC News in which we so often get "he sunk out of sight" (instead of sank). Or "he swum (instead of swam). Let alone the fascination with the tedious hobbyhorses of the presenters, which might be Aboriginal issues, feminism in all its detail, some woman who is the victim of yet another awful man, etc.

Good luck with your comments to ABC FM which also seem to have been taken over by giggling, girlish and garrulous commentators lately.

I am bewildered by the response to grammatical corrections that I get from advertisers, academics, teachers, my family.... 'Get over it. Language changes'. Indeed it does but how many 'Australias' are there? It follows that " 'Australia' are four for fifty-three" is wrong, an ignorant use of English. Multiply this example of noun-verb agreement a million times a day!

They are not doing too well with spelling on their Facebook stories.

Northern Tasmania had 'their/there' wrong a couple of days ago... I am dyslexic and I picked it.....

For ateday...

“Eat S*it and breath” explained!

God has laid the simple foundation on which rests the existence of all life on his earth. Call it a motto if you will; it is to eat to S*it and to breath. All else falls at the feet of folly, for all men shall conform to its imperative or perish!

And also , syntactical expediency predicates "youse ABC" in preference to "your ABC". The final e correctly avoids making the o into O , the ou into ow or O but lengthens the u to U. The plural of you is satisfactorily elicited and who would quibble about possessive apostrophe youse' derived from Old English . In Middle English the es ending was generalised to the genitive of all strong declension nouns. By the sixteenth century, the remaining strong declension endings were generalized to all nouns and the 's form was also used for plural noun forms. These were derived from the strong declension as ending in Old English . Increasingly , Middle Australian youse' becomes youse's or yous's and the more efficacious users is used : users ABC or users' ABC. ABC's users indicates the proper proprietary projection from Queen's English > BBC> ABC .
