HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FOUR SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2. 1958 Knife, Fork Club Speaker Cites Lax Use Of Language "Very tew' Americans speak per fect English," Dr. Roland Myers, etymologist, told members of the Klamath Knife and Fork Club in the WMard Hotel Wednesday night. ' . f .- 'v. The doctor, i student ol the Eng lish language and a man who has been an Instructor in five Ameri can universities, explained that idiosyncracies of our language make it virtually impossible for anyone, even members of com munications media to "speak or use perfect English." , One of the things the doctor touched upon was the reckless use of apostrophes. He also cited the confusion that U prevalent in the use of plural. In a Texas department store, the doctor overheard a saleslady refer to a - stocking as a hoe. "Why not," said Myers. "If two are hose, then one certainly must be a hoe.'. "Or," he continued, 'Tve heard people' say a' icissor. ' or pant leg." But he implied that rules of common sense do not, as we all know, always a p p 1 y to our lan guage where you could make a game .out of spelling. "Our plurals give us just as much trouble."' Here the doctor read a poem that illustrated his point, It dealt with the fact that if the plural oi inuuae .a u,hu Isn't the Dlural of house, hice, or the plural of spouse, spice? u. iid that words in our lan guage change by misusagc and if a word is misused by the ma wiiv it will, in time, be ac cepted as correct. "For example, take (he word Lake Honor Roll Revealed LAKEVIEW Honor roll grade point averages for the first semes ter of the Lakeview High School year have been released by Del bert Milhollandi principal, and 44 students in the four classes are listed.

Yreka BPW Hears Judge YREKA Judge Harry Ham mond, Yreka District Justice Court, was guest speaker at the regular HoMhIy "flintier meeting of the Yreka Business and Profession al Women's Cub, - held Tuesday evening, January 28, in the Mel ody Room of the Yreka Inn. Mrs. Elaine Skillen, vice presi dent of the club, conducted the meeting in the absence q( the pres ident, Mrs. Helena Schlueter, who had not yet returned from the annual conference of the Northern District of BPWC, held at Red Bluff. Prior to the program, Mrs. Skil len introduced three new mem bers: . Mrs. Rachel Cordes, Mrs. Estelle Isaacs and Mrs. Ora Jack son. Judge Hammond spoke on leg islation, explaining the procedure of how bills were first introduced to the Senate, and .the various phases they had to gfl through for approval. He also described how the county boards of supervisors and city ; councils were empow ered to eqnot laws or ordinances relative .& County or city prob lems. He (concluded his talk with a description of the operation of the Right to Work law. Ralph Selph, Siskiyou Daily News reporter, accompanied Judge Ham mond, and he spoke briefly on an other phase of legislation relative to the equalization of taxes in Cal ifornia. Mrs. Carol Kelly, chairman In charge of the committee for the American Field Service program, was next called upon to report on plans made by the Yreka BPWC to raise funds to contribute to wards the program. Mrs. Kelly also stated that the club will have a showing of a collection of Euro pean slides, taken by I)r, and Mrs. Kenneth Young when they made t tour of Europe last year. The films will he accompanied with music, as well as descrip tive tapes. Date of the showing has been set for February 13, in the Melody Room of the Yreka inn at 7:4$ p.m. She asked that each member Invite at least 10 10 1&, persons to attend the event. Monies derived will be contribut ed to the fund. The next meeting of Ihe Yreka BPWC is dated for February 11 In the club room ol the Yreka oleomargarine. Now according eto the dictionary, it should be pro nounced oleo mar-gar-ine. For our dictionary says that when a g is followed by an a, it should be pro nounced with a hard g. But we say oleo marjarine, using a soft g or a j. "The word moonlight is defined in the dictionary as the light of the moon. But, if you've been out canoeing with the right party, you'll know that moonlight doesn't really mean the light of the moon." He continued, "Words like per sons have a biography and the more we use them, the more they wear out or change. A word like nice originally meant simple or stupid. The word awful once meant to be filled with awe. There is no limit to the stories we all know about word changes. v The doctor told about another id iosyncracy in the language. "For example, it should be a norange, instead of an orange. The word originally came from the Spanish, naranjo. But the .article got mixed up with the noun and instead of a norange, we have an orange." Another member of this family, he mentioned, was the word nap kin. He said that the French word for apron was napp. Therefore the word should be, by all logic, a napron, but, here again, the ar ticle became part of the word and an apron was born into the lan guage. In dealing with the same word, a little apron is a napkin, not an apkin. Concluding, the doctor advised the addition of another language to enrich our lives. He also ad vised people going into the scien tific field to learn Russian. "There are many scientific pa pers and articles written in Rus sian that our scientists cannot read. In response to this the gov- ernment has set up a group to read and translate this material. I also believe that doctors should learn Greek in order In pnrirh ineir Knowledge of the meanings of parts of the body. "Unfortunately, we don't' have the teachers, and too many of our language leacnors have never been to the countries of the lan guages they speak. Consequent ly many of the students nnvpr really learn. It isn't, their fault, nor is it the fault of the teach ers. Next time you think vou sneak perfect English, you had better lop and think." the doctor said.
