The correct spelling of \"wierd\" is weird.

Real sharp, now you\'re telling yourself.

No, dopey, your fake word could as well be pronounced wired. Because the
\"ie\" in lots of words has the same pronunciation as in fiery.

is the
same pronunciation as in two TIERS of justice, or two TIERS of
intelligence, and lots of other such words. That\'s in fact how
it\'s pronounced according to English pronunciation rules.

Just remember how to spell it and you won\'t have to make up silly
arguments about pronunciation rules for your misspelled words.

I have not so described English. But if you consider a language with
severely limited vocabulary, you potentially have to use more basic
words so convey a subtle concept. E.g. compare with Pidgin English.

My definition of \"save\" is concise.
I saw the convoluted definition and, with the help of
Merriam-Webster, changed it to a concise definition. You can find it
in all English dictionaries nowadays. I\'m talking about the sense of
\"save\" you hear every day all day, mainly in advertising. Let me
know if you are confused about that and want more information. It\'s
my favorite subject.

My definition of \"save\" is concise.

Ambiguous, already.

That wasn\'t very concise either.

It can be used that way, but mostly isn\'t.

It\'s the standard international language and it\'s the language used most for high-tech.

There\'s nothing standard about it. At the moment it is the language that many people with money to spend can read, so there\'s lots of stuff published in it.

So what.

If you want to practice standard English, use Dragon NaturallySpeaking
(like I have for over 20 years) or Google\'s perhaps not as intelligent,
but powerful, server-based speech recognition. You can also use a text-
to-speech program. Whether it\'s the best standard who knows, but it is a
CLEAR standard with hard and fast rules.

Not remotely clear, and the \"hard and fast rules\" seem to have lot of exceptions, not to mention regional variations.

I get a kick out of listening to my text to speech program pronounce all
sorts of weird words. I love not having to mess with it.

A strange way of amusing yourself. In fact text to speech translation depends on having a huge library of examples, and enough artificial intelligence to search the whole library and extract the bizarre rules that work. Human attempts at the job were never much good.

E.g. compare with Pidgin English.

What I found regarding Pidgin English says it\'s used typically in
commerce at Chinese shipping ports. I still don\'t know what it is.
I enjoy reading Chinglish quick-start guides.

American Sign Language may be concise, if any language is.
