The Doctor wrote on 13/6/24 12:52 am:More likely the other way around. Americans incorrectly use 'z' in words like "theorize" while the real English spelling is "theorise", but thanks to the insidious creep of American culture in books, movies, TV shows, software, etc., the 'z' will (and is) slowly replacing the 's' in such words. Similarly the 'u' will disappear from the correct spelling of words like "colour". It can already be seen by the widespread usage of the incorrect backwards Americanised date format mm/dd/yyyy in magazines and newspapers. :-(In article <v4cc6j$1muuc$1@dont-email.me>, Daniel70Yes.

However English uses words taken from many other languages too, and in Welsh for example w is also a semi vowel. English words taken from Welsh include cwm (head of a valley) and crwth (a kind of bowed lyre).
can't be slipping naked vowel-less words in to the English
language willy nilly. That sort of thing is just not acceptable.
Heathens!
I could be convinced that the English English Alphabet doesn't have
26 letters .... I mean a "w" IS literally "uu", double u!
And, tripping back to High School, our Grade Six (1968) English
Teacher, Mr Burleigh, stated that the letter 'Z' would soon be
dumped from the English Alphabet!
Still waiting!!
's' in all words containing a 'z'!
What about it, Gobble-de-gook??What about J?But we do love our vowels...Have you ever given it a try?? ;-)
Although we don't let fake vowels like Y slip-in, as that's just plain wrong,
so somebody thought it best to take it our of our alphabetHmm!! Are you very possessive of your Alphabet ('our of our')??
altogether! ;-)
