 Re: Are there rules for "ed" pronunciation?
I am sorry I can't be of help in this one.
Verbs like 'to text' someone are some of those new words coming up as the world becomes more and more attached to the computer and electronics.
I have heard a lot more recently like 'to google something' 'to smiley someone' 'he avatared me' 'give me a shout' etc. Sure I do understand what they want to say, but honestly my dad won't get it.
I have been wondering whether there are some current efforts by language experts to study these new forms pushing into the language. Any links?
Have you guys come across some more weird usages recently? |
