New Spelling of the Royal English Academy sets the name of some letters, change "quorum" for "cuórum" and removes the accents of "only", "script" and "or" between numbers
JAVIER RODRIGUEZ MARCOS - Madrid -
The Greek i will e, b will be (high or Be not Be Long), the ch and ll are no longer letters of the alphabet is removed tick in one and demonstratives (this, this ...) and on or between numbers (5 or 6) and quorum shall cuórum, while Qatar is Qatar.
The new edition of the spelling of the English Royal Academy , to be published before Christmas, try to be, as its coordinator, Salvador Gutiérrez Ordóñez, "reasoned and thorough but simple and readable." And above all "consistent" with the use of speakers and grammatical rules. Therefore the stresses academic updates and innovations arising from the previous edition, 1999, but is not "at all" revolutionary. Gutiérrez Ordóñez is reluctant even to use the word "reform."
However, the director of the Department of English Day of the HKSAR is aware that the spelling changes always provoke resistance among some speakers. Hence the relevance, says panhispánico consensus that the Commission has sought IAP association that brings together Academies of the English language worldwide. On Wednesday, the commission, meeting in San Millan de la Cogolla (La Rioja) has approved the basic text of the new spelling of the English language. In the absence of final ratification on 28 this month at the Guadalajara International Book Fair (Mexico) during the height of the 22 schools, these are some of the "innovations point" approved this week and highlighted by the very Gutiérrez Ordóñez.
The Greek i will e . Some letters of our alphabet received several names: be, be high or benefits for long b; vee, be low or benefits cuts for v, double vee, go double or go to w, i Greek or karma for the letter and, CETA, yield, zeta or Zeda to z. The new Spelling proposes a single name for each letter: be to b, for v vee, double vee for w and e for y (i rather than Greek). According to the coordinator of the new text, the most widely used in English of the Y is consonant (lightning, horse), hence its new name, the majority also in many countries in Latin America. Of course, the disappearance of the Y i also affects America, now called simply i.
Ch and ll are not letters of the alphabet. Since the nineteenth century, the letter combinations ch and ll were considered letters of the alphabet, but by the Spelling Bee 1999 became considered digraphs, namely "signs two-letter spelling." However, both ch and ll remained in the alphabet chart. The new edition of the deleted "formally." Thus, the letters of the alphabet become 27.
Only black coffee, without accent. There are two uses written accent traditionally associated with the tilde diacritic (amending the letter as well as the modified, for example, the umlaut: arrive, old). These two uses are: 1) the determinants demonstration opposing this, this, these, these (That book I like) versus pronominal uses the same ways (That I do not like). 2) The voice that made the adverbial use only (just arrived here) its value adjective (lives alone).
"How are you distinctions are not strictly conform to the rules of diacritical tilde (as in no way precludes a tonic to an unstressed word), since 1959 spelling rules restricting accent mandatory only for situations of ambiguity (He said this morning come / said this morning there, I'll just this summer / I'll just this summer). Because such cases are rare and are easily resolved by the context, remember that you can not tick the adverb alone and demonstrative pronouns even in cases of ambiguity ", it says the commission of the new spelling, which, yes, it does not condemn their use if someone wants to use the tilde in cases of ambiguity. Coffee for all. However, the RAE takes decades leading by example and since 1960 in its publications does not tick either alone or in the demonstration.
