methinks, one should start some other topic..

Which English-writing author do Ye like the most?
ЛОЖИЛЪ, ЛОЖУ, БУДУ ЛОЖИТЬ!!!

Aleksey

Strange and typical as it may seem, but be it Dickens. And what 'bout you?

Versteher

it would be assum'd as a wonder, yet I have never read a letter of Herr Dickens...

For the nonse my favourite is Geoffrey Chaucer...

Those I have read besides were great, and I shoun't write them, having forgotten one.

You'd better do. Because this topic was meant for those, who speak English, and not some kind of a barbarial lingo.

As far as I know, Chaucer wrote in so-called Middle English. Did you read his original works or ones adapted to modern English?

As far as I know, Chaucer wrote in so-called Middle English. Did you read his original works or ones adapted to modern English? , quoth Kinkajou;

no, well, I dare say that the so-call'd Modern English is a far better tongue that the modern newspeak..
Answering the question, I will say that I read the text as it was written, and get get the sublime linguistic pleasure doing it.

And my favourite is Frent Herbert with his "Dune".=)


ps
Why you are writing "'bout" instead of "about" and "s'ppose" instead of "suppose"?

I often speak to Southerners and Scousers, so I tend to imitate their variants :D
Seriously: a Scouser talks like that (at least 2 Scousers whom I happen to know talk in a such manner)

The writing "'bout" instead "about" is also a feature of the English poetry (dropping out of syllable to keep a metre).

That's great. You know, we studied his work "The Canterbury Tales" as a part of the course of the history of Eng. And it was very interesting to read it, so to say, like Englishmen did in XIII-XIV centuries. That's why I asked in what variant you had read it.

Well, as for the topic - can't say exactly who is the favourite, but now I'm reading Arthur C. Clarke and like him very very much. :)

As "берег" and "брег" in Russian? Hm... is there any rules, or I can drop out any letter?

It is alike.

You cannot. There were not any rules but some habits. As a rule syntactic words were shortened: about = 'bout, against = 'gainst, over = o'er.

Hm...thanks! Now I think that I can drop out letters that I don't say(that is not hearable). For example, in the word "about": "a" is not hearable because of big accent on the "ou".
Over - I hear as "ouer","oer", and I can drop out the "v".

So... It is possible to write "ga'den" instead of "garden"? "for'cast" insted of "forecast"?

I speak to them more than I write.

No you can't drop out any letter you like. The shortening was according to the archaic/dialect pronunсiation.

Thanks, autolyk. And how does the apostrophe affect the pronunciation of verb forms in -'d?
Пишите письма! :)

autolyk

An apostrophe in "ed-forms" shows that the vowel "e" is not pronunciated.
