Description

TitleIllustrated London News 1886 vol.89 page 138DescriptionThe writer criticises common linguistic mistakes, using a Times report on the New Zealand volcanic disaster as an example, specifically the repeated misspelling of the Māori word pā as “pah.” He laments how people persist in such errors despite correction, comparing them to similar misuses in Spanish and to the frequent omission of proper relative pronouns in English.Year1886Volume89Page Number138FormatNewspaper article
