You’re quite welcome to spell it “rooves” if that’s comfortable for you, but that doesn’t make other spellings incorrect. Cheers.In Anglophonic countries, the name of the language… English… is always capitalized.
I’ll never understand people like that. In fact, you stepped into the trap quite nicely.
I know that words like "wife" and "knife" are spelled "wives" and "knives" in plural. Aren’t you a brave man???
Nothing wrong with that.A lot of older people locally write “chimneys” but say “chimbleys”. At the risk of offending someone, it’s frickin’ hilarious.US political divide and name-calling aside… Is it roofs or rooves?!Rooves. Rooves is correct. I guess if enough people spell something wrong, it will eventually become the accepted spelling.Click “Add to dictionary”. Linguistically, historically, psychologically, utility-wise, logically, areologically, and tautologically. Just like they’re trying to rewrite history!You uh.. You understand that do to English’s status as one of if not the most mixed language in the world that similar words are often treated differently, right? General usage leaves it uncapitalized when referring to the language far more than 75% of the time. I’m 59 and I don’t know why I’m telling you guys except everyone else seems to be doing it.The most remarkable thing about this discussion is how many arseholes are commenting. I’m not claiming that’s the “most” correct by any means, of course. Nevertheless, I will endeavour to advise you both – and yes, I am using the Australian Standard English spelling in my writing.Three accepted forms of English, in their respective geographical contexts, are: Australian Standard English, British English, and American English. There are more exceptions to the rules than there are thumbs.
You obviously need a dictionary..go fight someone with your inferior brain cells.I have no need for a dictionary.
Irene, you need to accept that the English that you learned as a child is not exactly the common English of today, and that’s neither good nor bad, it’s simply the way it is.
But, I am reminded of steering so many students back to the subject at hand, “We were discussing one word at the start, and now, once again, we’re moved to handing down edicts of right and wrong that are merely fool’s tools to derail the discussion until the bell rings. Roofs constructed of flat sloped sections are referred to as pitched roofs. weird..Pathetic when someone has to vote their own comments.I agree with you, TAZ.
I continue responding because I am neurodivergent in ways that make it very difficult for me to walk away from conversations for various reasons, so as long as I keep receiving notifications of responses, there is a very high chance of my continuing to read and respond in kind.You care enough to keep coming back and posting drivel!
Years of actual experience are worth much more than a couple seconds surfing the interweb on your smart phone for an answer. how.
When they comment it’s like everyone here is an a$$… including ME!Oh please don’t let little troll boy get to you, thats what they want, its a head game. (Aside from that, almost anyone will have a few tiny quirks that sneak in based on their region, though usually only someone from a drastically different region will catch them. I really don’t think you should be making sarcastic comments to other users on the finer points of the English language.”At any rate, I really don’t think that a minor phonetic typo and an active choice to use conversational rather than perfect grammar in casual situations are quite comparable to insinuating that the dialect one has known from childhood is the only real dialect, that anyone who speaks differently is an idiot, and that differences in dialect are somehow a political ploy to rewrite history.I wasn’t trying to be a know-it-all or anything of the sort; it was more an effort to call attention to the arrogant nature of the post to which I replied.By the way, I am a liberal. that [ru:fs] just doesn't roll off the tongue while [ru:vz] does), but my british friends also said they'd never seen it spelled like that... (they agreed with the pronunciation thing though).In the OED, "rooves" is marked as a disputed form of spelling.any other takes on this? Common usage surely has an effect on the spelling of a word over time.Well, kid, when we went to school we were taught that the plural of roof was rooves. Brooklyn? In two of the four NPR stories containing the word "roofs" near the beginning that I checked, the word is pronounced ending in voiceless consonants, if I'm not mistaken:all right, so this means that, so far, we have only distinguished btw different pronunciations but not different spellings? Do you expect most people do? What a laff!He’s a Right Wing idiot so he’s interested in any excuse to dismiss everything you have to say. Over-reacting to a minor typo– especially when it is more or less phonetic– does not make you a superior English speaker. Plural; a roof: two roof s: a cliff: two cliff s: a sheriff: two sheriff s: 1.4.2.
You sound much more like a 25 year old who lives in mommy’s basement. Um eine neue Diskussion zu starten, müssen Sie angemeldet sein. What’s the matter? Roofs has been the standard form since at least the 18th century. So, until that moment comes, take out pen and paper and diagram Alicia’s sentence for me. Open your GD eyes!
(Of course, as I have repeatedly emphasized throughout the thread, this means that I would neither care about nor point out things like your very small and very human errors if you were not asserting such an aggressive stance toward so many people.
