| 1452423 | 2018-08-08 23:07:00 | Listening to some people on the radio and television I hear that they don't know the difference in pronunciation between "woman" and "women." "Woman" is pronounced as it is spelt and "women" is pronounced "wimmen" and yet some people pronounce them the same.:waughh: It seems as though some people's education is lacking and they just don't know the difference. It's appalling. :( |

Its not as pure as some would like to think. never was . It's not a matter of evolving - it's just ignorance. It's mispronunciation. That simple. If you don't pronounce the two words differently, how is one to know just what you are talking about? |

| 1452429 | 2018-08-09 06:14:00 | The English language as we know it . Well for one thing, it originally wasn't. It was german. Like, we shouldn't, like, rilly, like, care, now, ay, bro? Cause, like, it's just, like, evolving and it, like doesn't like matter what we do. |

| 1452432 | 2018-08-09 09:10:00 | :+1: All languages evolve over time, deal with it. You obviously did not read what I wrote. I reiterate - woman is pronounced as it is written, women is pronounced "wimmen." Surely that's simple enough for your tiny brain? |
