English Comments on Some American
Criticisms of English Speeeh

English Comments on Some American
Criticisms of English Speech.
A writer In an American magazine
claims that his countrymen speak better
English than the English themselves.
Controversies Of this kind can seldom be
decided, because it is next to impossible
to secure an impartial judge. The i'm
provements that have been made across
the Atlantic in the tongue of Raleigh and
Shakespeare would not constitute an i'm
portant list. Many of the words or
phrases that were once considered Amer
icanisms" have turned out on examina-
tion TO be bits Of obsolete or provincial
EGglish-soms Of them very vigorous and
expressive.
The spelling peculiar to American
newspapers and books hardly seems an
advance,-"piow," instead OF plough, -
is a recurrence TO the old form; and
words like traveller" and 'jeweler." /"
not suggest to any vast superiority,
while '.theater" is a decided vulgariIy.
The American writer asserts that freight
train' is better than goods train but
that is a matter of opinion,
He is more justified In objecting to our
''keyless watch" as inferior 10 the Amer
lean name stem wlnder," which Is GER
tainly more precise. Farm hand" is
better than agricultural laborer," but
then we also use the first in literature,
leaving the latter to official returns. To
say that preserved meat Is canned not
'sIinnsd, f" is rational, for the material
used may not always be TIN; and the
transatlantic use of "bug" for beetle
Is reversion 10 the old Eaglish use
OF word now Offensive through
association with one limited genus
Changes in feeling and opinion, how
ever, about words are inevitable. as
Archbishop Trench shows in his admir-
able little works. One gets exalted, an
other degraded. ''Meuial" was at one
time not at all offensive. il is now The
euphe misrus OF one century become de-
graded into unQtterable vulgarities in
the next-as anybody may see by the
concurrence in old fashioned literature of
phrases that even an English Zola would
hesitate 10 print Thea. some of the
words that 10 Shakespeare's time shocked
