Well I will concede that , but I am not a septic . Truthfully though this is Usenet and spelling is pretty much irrelevant
excluding a few anal drop kicks .


You present the image you want to, dude.

By the way, you're flying low. Not something I wanna see. But hey, it's
you image.

There are very (VERY) few English who know the difference.

I was looking round LiveJournal last night, and there was a friend of a
friend, an Indian guy, living in India. In his profile, he used
the word "paucity". How many English even know that word?

There's a paucity of them......

I was on holiday in Goa last year, and one of the most fascinating
items was reading the local English-language newpaper. The English was
grammatically perfect, but wonderfully polysallbic and straight out of
the last days of the Raj. It was a bit like picking up a London Times
from 1934!

Only a panjandrum of perspicacity would care about that.

If tempted to polysyllables, it is as well to understand their meaning
before assembling them in seemingly random order, as you have done.

Agreed. Not all gypsies are tramps and thieves.

But that's what the people of the town, they called us.

Question:

What does 'no travellers' refer to?


It's a sign put up by publicans who don't want all the copper and brassware
nicked out of their toilet facilities...

'Travellers' = 'Pikeys' = 'Tinkies' = *not* true Gypsies who came originally
from Pakistan (not Ireland) via Egypt and whom all live in Rumania and Spain
now....


(Forget the silly books, websites etc. and watch the movie 'Snatch' for a
*far* more accurate depiction... ;-)

I'm surprised. The quality of the writing in most Indian papers has been in
free fall since the early 90s.

The grammar may be perfect, but also rigorous and quaint. In fact, I believe
Wren and Martin (circa 1880) are still considered the grammar messiahs in
most Indian schools.
