We used to call my Polish grandpa Jaw-Jew (spelled how we pronounced it). Is that the correct pronunciation and how is the word spelled?

I find some phonetic values of Greco Roman cartouches were determined from Latin, not Egyptian, so for instance [hill] collis /k/, [lion] leo /l/, [hand] trado /t/, [water] nauticus /n/. Notice in Coptic water is mo or moou corresponding to /m/, also the symbol matches Hebrew M closely and Hebrew "water" is mym, Arabic ma. Also there are many patterns in Ancient Hebrew which match Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. Only a few phonetic values have been gotten correct, not enough to decipher anything.
Has Egyptian really been deciphered. I posted a related question in 'History' asking about the origin of Hebrew, is it from Old Aramaic, Canaanite or Egyptian. For more information see yahoo group peripheralegyptology or historicallinguistics.

In England, I'm noticing more and more that people have trouble talking correctly. Phrases like 'I ain't done nothing' and using 'ain't' instead of 'haven't' and slang such as 'innit' makes my skin crawl. Is the English language getting worse? Am I just a snob, or does this irriate other people?

I need a short phrase (ideally 3 words) to express that a graph is not proportional to the figures it represents...
Is there a standard expression? I thought "not a scale graph" but this might likely be wrong... please help!

I hate it when I hear "Cut off the light.", "Mash the button." referring to a baseball catcher as a "hind catcher" or anytime someone uses the word "commode". Are these like redneck, backwoods words or sayings?

O.k. what I mean is a trend over the past decade and a half where the word has almost come to represent a desirable outcome in of itself. For example all failings are summed up as lack of confidence and all achievements are seen as stemming from confidence. Which makes me ask what is the difference between that and defining all outcomes as having faith or lack of faith. What I'm saying is it seems to me that it over simplifies the complexity of life. For example if someone has a genetic makeup that allows him to play basketball at the level of Michael Jordan someone might say he's good because he has confidence. And I'm just like of course he has confidence when playing basketball he's a genetic marvel. This is just one of the situations in which I see the word used incorrectly. I think it's become similar to the overuse of the word like. For example if you’re 6 ft 200lbs and a kung-fu master doesn’t it go without saying that you would destroy an un-armed, 1 armed midget in a fight? But you would still get someone who would come out and say the most confident fighter will win.

Most of us whenever we answer the phone, for example, we response by saying; yes it’s me, Cathy. Now, and according to my teacher English such a statement is wrong. In term of English grammar, the correct answer has to be: IT IS I, Cathy. Is that true, and why? Help
