"If people don't wanta conte to ball games, you can't stop 'em," is one of his malapropisms most quoted. He's not alone with his misapplication of words. A beautiful, but dumb, blond was once asked what were some of the things she did as a child. With wide-eyed in- nocence, she replied, "Well, I spent a lot of time sliding down barristers." Few of us speak our native tongue perfectly; it gives most of us a lot of trouble. Language is such a mysterious thing. Why, for example, do we say hot for hot and cold for cold and not hot for cold and cold for hot? Where did it all start, this idea of using certain sounds to describe different circumstances? No one really knows the answer to that, but every word must have been a stroke of genius since it was a sound by which one person could convey an idea to another. The fact that this was done in hundreds of different sounds (languages) makes speech all the more remarkable. The first rule of speech is, of course, that the people to whom we are talking unders- tand what we mean by the sounds we make. Take the • Language a mysterious thing world 'milk' Tor instance. Depending of what language you speak, the sound you use for it could be leche, milch, mjolk, lait or melk...and that's only a few of the sound CAN GRAB THE OTHER END OF pop lade. moms teeth ratted and she was shifering then pop sade RUNAROWND FAST AND SWING YORE ARMS." It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith used for milk around the world. A baby is not able to talk when he is born; he can usual- ly get what he wants by cry- ing. However, as he grows, he needs to express more ideas, and in time, he learns that certain sounds mean definite things to people. When he starts to school, it really gets tough because he finds out many words are not spelled the way they sound. It's not much wonder one lit- tle seven-year-old wrote: SKATEING ON ARE LAKE "We went skateing and mom fel into her waste by the beaver house. HELP IM DROUNDINQ she yeled. NOBODYS GOIN TO DROUND QUIT YELING WHILE I GET A STIK YOU The little fellow may have made lots of mistakes, but at least, he was easy to unders- tand. Unfortunately, when some children grow to adulthood, they get so caught up in the use of language, they become almost impossible to comprehend. One pompous writer reporting on the in- juries of a man who had two black eyes wrote, "He had bilateral perobital hematoma and left subjunctival hemor- rhage." Some politicians and lawyers are often guilty too, of using obtuse, involved language with excess words and foggy construction. Sim- ple things are made complex and complex things are made well-nigh incomprehensible. Many of us recall the great inspiring speeches of Winston Churchill. They sounded the way they did because Chur- chill detested exaggeration and had no use for em- broidery of speech. He knew what he wanted to say, took pains to say it sincerely, ac- curately and vividly so that his listeners knew exactly what he meant. We could all take a leaf from his book. But to get back to Dizzy Dean. When he heard that some radio stations were receiving complaints about him being on the air because children might begin to speak like he did, Dizzy replied, "Well, suppose they do. It's talkin', ain't it?" He was right, and very col- ourful taikin' it was, too. It seems to me that although we would all like to be adept in linguistics and sound like Fashlin' by design 11 you want something that is as individual as you are for that spring for- mal or wedding. ..Call Deanne Christie 228-6855 Winston Churchill, the most important thing is that we• keep on talking to each other...perfectly or otherwise.
