Ufa fcare it Hire's a tetter from Kay Kochlcr, a column
ist cfLUte Rock, Ark.:
DearTed:
l!y friend, concerning "let and "leave,
Forgive me, but I do believe
That in a way you Hew it.
If I t" you buy me a drink, '
It mesns, if you jast stop and think,
You hvtz my leave" to do it.
- And ia the Dritifi Is!ci I met
A sign that said they'd rooms to "let,"
Just how do you construe it?
I must report-a sfht I heave
The room I "let" was one to Teavc,"
So shabby did I view it.
Does that mean one who is enfettered
Finds himself as well unlettered?
Now there's a thought that frets me!
.And the reply:
Thocgh "bars" and lat" sometimes confuse,
I find that they also assaae;
Therefore let us drink to it.
Cefore I give you leare to go,
TThxh means IH let ycu leave, yea know,
Another thir upsets me.
That "fet, which means we can partake,
DU cot when Ilam4et said he'd make
A ghost of him that lats me."
Oh, Kay ! Oh, no it's not okay
To have you think, much less to say :
That I would ever bIow it."
Your let's a verb, your tee a noun;
- They don't compare (unless you clown):
. They differ and you know it.
AwfaTy distorted wcrds. Most people don't give a second
thought to the change in meaning of such a word as
awfully so that it denotes simply very. Dut P. Venograd
of Philadelphia noticed such a usage by Senator Mondale,
who said that Jimmy Carter was an uncommon man.
tzrrZly gifted, committed, experienced ready." Diln't he
mean very or extremely, but not terribly? asked the
reader. lie surely did. The conversion of powerful adverbs
into simple intensive began with the British but is com
mon in the speech of Americans as well. Adverbs that
have undergone such treatment include horribly, friht
'fuHy, dreadfzdly, fearfully and probably several more. In
most instances the use of such words in extravagant
hyperbole, or exaggeration, has not damaged their ability
to express their primary strong meanings. If it did it
would be appallingly damaging to the language.
