Discovery and cover in language: Going into battle for every word | Israel today

I dipped my finger in an barrel of explosives this week, tweeted and got hurt.

The subject was purely linguistic.

I returned from a wonderful visit to my beloved Haifa, I came across the new cable car and noticed that according to the Hebrew Language Academy it should be called rakavlit.

Because the correct pronunciation in the male is rakevel and not rachbal, as many disrupt, hence the pronunciation in the plural is rakavlim, and in the female rakavlit.

Two strange and disgusting words, in my eyes, I wrote, and that is sin and its punishment.

Had the academy not insisted on rakevel in the first act, it would not have been punished with rakavlit in the next act.

A fair is set up at home.

Do not ask what emotions aroused this very small and correct remark.

Advocates and categories, supporters and opponents, insults and crowns, as if the topic of discussion is the minimum of the next election or even the story of the human-stage relationship.

While perusing the responses, following the controversy and trying to characterize the hawks, I once again noticed something I had been aware of for a long time: all wrestlers belong to a certain age group, which is more or less my age group or a little above me.

This is an age group whose language matters arouse emotions and are in a very high place in the personal menu.

Honestly: I am not really able to take seriously someone who criticizes me for something I "wrote in the paper."

I manage to have a long conversation with someone, but until he says "my partner", can not with "a word in the rock" (a phrase that completely wandered from its original context) and here and there also gets involved with the fickle "probably" - and many more.

What it means?

It is clear that there is not always a connection between non-standard use of language and level of intelligence.

In most cases recurring errors are related to cultural conditioning, immigration, historical reasons.

The best examples are errors of immigrants, who incorrectly think words solely because they know them from reading and not from hearing;

Still, there is a large and respected community in this country that is unable to forgive language disorders.

When someone "moves" next to them, they react uncontrollably, and when an error appears on the kindergarten or school contact page, the face darkens and mourning descends on the house.

And I say: let's calm down and forgive a little.

It can not be so extreme.

Take one of the most common examples, the active (active) deceased root that was collected and collected from his people two decades ago and donated the remains of his body to the purple HA of the annoying activist, which I do not once hear and murmur softly in subdued rage, involuntarily vibrating Of ear hairs and other old-fashioned accessories.

It is clear that this is an irrational rage and empty of content.

A strait that many held, Sages say, must not be spoiled. So maybe every time someone makes a mistake, all you have to do is remember that he is just another generation, and maybe he felt more comfortable thinking so. That, a word in the rock.
