Common Errors of Careful Speakers.
Until the advent of the new diction-
aries, Century, Standard and Interna-
tiOnal, he who would conform to standard
authorities was obliged to pronounce ma
ture, picture, departure, etG., in strict
conformity to the orthogra ply of the
words. And while the nonconfOrmist
reVeled IN nachur pikchur, dtparehur,
etc, the careful speaker strictly adhered
to the mandates of "Old Webster" and
never allowed himself to retrograde from
the standard pronuncations of these
words. But that unruly member, the
tongue, refused to say nature, picture,
departure, etc.--in fact, it made a decided
deparchur. Such is the law of usage that
When pronunciation is generally adopt
ed by good speakers it becomes correct
usage and the dictionaries thin record it
ID; Thus 1t is that Century, Standard
ana International indicate that one may
say nature or nachur. picture or pkchur,
departure or deparchur
The careful speaker who is unaware
OF this license continues to say nature,
picture, etc., obltviouS of the fact that
Tor the last decade the recommendations
nachur, pikchur, etc, not only have been
used by the best speakers, but have been
sanctioned by the highest authority.
For the benefit of those who may de-
sire to cling to the old recommendations,
thinking that the new ones have not
the sanction Of authority or that they
are used by careless speakers, the fol-
lowing rule is given:
Rule-In elaborate or strained utterance
the consonants t, d, S, have their own
proper value, but in ordinary STYLES OF "
speaking combine with the following
i-element (c) into the fused sound. This
sound (ch, j. sh or Zh) Is admissible in
good common speech
Cb) To refer to the dictionary as an
authority Is only another way Of re-
ferring to the best speakers for the die
ticnary IS but the recorder Of usage.
