I'd like to propose something...Hormel, parent company to Spam the canned meat, is regularly having to sue others for the improper use of the word when referring to spam, the abomination in every email account...what if we all decided to start spelling it "spamm?" Hormel could get a break from the court room and since it means junk email, a superfluous letter tacked on to the end of the word seems appropriate.

For the record, I am in no way, shape or form affiliated with Hormel, but I did enjoy grilled Spam while camping a long while back. It tastes different in the woods.

In formal essay writing, should one use the word "whilst" INSTEAD of "while" or "all the while as" or "in the meantime" or "... at the same time as ..."?

Is it a matter of preference? Does it make formal essays prettier?

Thanks!

I know it comes from the infinitive, "to submit" and "sub" means "under." Anyone know the precise etymological definition of the word "submission"?

Note: I'm not looking for a dictionary definition.

Maybe not a good question for some peole who speak English as their first language, but i'm an ESL learner. Even though i know how the speech mechanism works for these sounds, i'm still not confidently saying it. SO i would really appreaciate if you can write a few lines decribing how you feel when you say it, or dicussing about your experience; i have the most difficulties in saying DZ, i can say TS okay. I 've been doing research and a source says that your tounge pronounces D by momentarily touching the gum ridge and then swinging away while the vocal cord vibrating, and to pronouce the Z (to make it DZ) the tounge is also vibrating as swinging away. In addition, it is also said that voiced consonants (as DZ) is held shorter than voiceless consonants (as DS). I know that practice will make it better and make it "a part of me" (this is important ).But thats a long process and in the while i want to know what i will be doing, and what you are doing.
THANKS in advance =]
