Is it just me, or are people changing the way we say some words? I think the English language is difficult enough without making changes that confuse us more. For instance, I was listening to the radio yesterday, and some expert on women’s menopause said “eestrogen”
Then the other day my friend and I were looking over some photos, and she commented that she liked the "seepia" one better. "Seepia?" When did "sepia" become "seepia?" This is hard for a word Nazi (though I tend to hide that aspect about myself).
I wonder how they’d like it if I changed the language? It’ll no longer be "people" folks! Nope, it’s "pepple," or maybe even "peeps" as Greg suggested in the comments!
Isn’t it enough for you that most of our language laws don’t work already? For example; I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbour and weigh. So then what do I do with conscience or foreign, and what about leisure, either or neither? It’s verbal craziness!
Okay, so I’m just being silly here. But seriously peeps, I have a hard enough time with things like “eye candy” and “arm candy.” Now you’re going to confuse me more by changing the way normal words sound?
This time I have to draw a line! No eestrogen for me, thanks! 😂
Have a good day!
Have a good day!
