Poor spelling bee



                                     Dead Spelling Bee

 

English language has pride of place                     

It’s borrowed from many other place                      

But I fear that this will not last                      

It’s use by date is nearly past                                  

Now tears from my eyes are welling                      

As we tinker with it’s spelling                                  

I can just make sense of Wot and Ware                    

But there’s more that I cannot bear            

If Froot Loops now is greater                        

What words 4U will be OK l8r?

    Appalling, but inevitable. Chaucer and Shakespeare would've said we're doing it wrong, so who am I to judge future generations?

    I hate text speak..always turn off predictive text and spend hours trying to spell out simple messages..language changes though..sometimes for the better...sometimes not so..LOL (shudder)..

    Oh, my!
    Love this. Very well done. You've certainly touched on a topic very close to me. I can't stand the terrible, intentional misspelling of words, OR the addition of silly words to the dictionary. Someone mentioned a new definition of "literally" has been added to the dictionary so that it now also means "figuratively", so incorrect usage is now correct? I'm not sure I want to live in this world any more!
