Re: [microsound] proofing text



sorry, I don't really have much to add to all this talk about proof reading, typos and bad grammer other than the fact that the ideologies of language, grammer proper and spelling proper developed during the eras of imperialism and colonialism, and when catholic linguistics were trying to set straight native/foreign speakers, so they could convince them their ideologies and dogma were the only ideologies/dogmas. I wonder how many native speakers died because they couldn't form a proper sentence?
its great that we can all have a consistant set of rules which makes ideas and knowledge easier to communicate, but is it really difficult to resist these ideologies and maintain your creativity to understand whats being communicated. I think it is very important that people make errors[go beyond the regulating rules of syntax, phonology, morphology,spelling...) especially in their language. errors create new forms for use, and understanding and i would say that it was probably an accident that we use these images to create discursive language. as it should be noted that what comes out of our mouth, doesn't look anything like these limited lines that make up these letters.


one lister mentioned the term, agrammatical, as a non-word with significance. its as much of a word as grammatical is, but agrammatical has less life than grammatical, because agrammatical needed grammatical to create this form. the term itself is a perfectly grammatical term with correct morphology for the english language. so as a word, it is a word regardless of its sense.
