162.
Other
Errors
arise
from
the
substitution
of
sounds
similar
to
the
words
which
should
be
employed;
that
is,
spurious
words
instead
of
genuine
ones.
Thus,
some
people
say
"renumerative,"
when
they
mean
"remunerative."
A
nurse,
recommending
her
mistress
to
have
a
perambulator
for
her
child,
advised
her
to
purchase
a
preamputator!
163.
Other
Errors
(2)
are
occasioned
by
imperfect
knowledge
of
the
English
grammar:
thus,
many
people
say,
"Between
you
and
I,"
instead
of
"Between
you
and
me."
And
there
are
numerous
other
departures
from
the
rules
of
grammar,
which
will
be
pointed
out
hereafter.
164.
By
the
Misuse
of
the
Adjective:
"What
beautiful
butter!"
"What
a
nice
landscape!"
They
should
say,
"What
a
beautiful
landscape!"
"What
nice
butter!"
Again,
errors
are
frequently
occasioned
by
the
following
causes:
165.
By
the
Mispronunciation
of
Words.
Many
persons
say
pronounciation
instead
of
pronunciation;
others
say
pro-nun'-she-a-shun,
instead
of
pro-nun-ce-a-shun.
166.
By
the
Misdivision
of
Words
and
syllables.
This
defect
makes
the
words
an
ambassador
sound
like
a
nam-bassador,
or
an
adder
like
a
nadder.
167.
By
Imperfect
Enunciation,
as
when
a
person
says
hebben
for
heaven,
ebber
for
ever,
jocholate
for
chocolate,
&c.
168.
By
the
Use
of
Provincialisms,
or
words
retained
from
various
dialects,
of
which
we
give
the
following
examples:
169.
Cambridgeshire,
Cheshire,
Suffolk,
&c.
Foyne,
twoyne,
for
fine,
twine;
ineet
for
night;
a-mon
for
man;
poo
for
pull.
170.
Cumberland,
Scotland,
&c.
Cuil,
bluid,
for
cool,
blood;
spwort,
seworn,
whoam,
for
sport,
scorn,
home;
a-theere
for
there;
e-reed,
seeven,
for
red,
seven;
bleedin'
for
bleeding;
hawf
for
half;
saumon
for
salmon.
