LANGUAGE EVOLUTION.
Use of the Sulix "Less" In Verbs,
Nouns and Adjectives.

Use of the Suflix "Less" In Verbs,
Nouns and Adjectives.
Many will remember that some years
ago there went on violent contro-
yersy about the word tireless. The
discovery had been made that less"
was a suffix which could properly be
appended only to nouns. hence the
form must be discarded, and we must
all take pains to say untiring. The
duty of SO doing was preached from
scores of professional and newspaper
pulpits. No one seemed to think or
care for the various other adjectives
similarly formed and therefore liable
to the similar censure which they
never received. Hostility was direct
ed against it alone The actual flaw
which Initiated the arguments against
tireless its censors never knew or took
into consideration. This was that the
faneied rule covering the creation of
such words had practically long ceased
to be operative whenever new forma
ton struck the sense of the users Of
language as being desirable.
Unquestionably in our earliest speech
the suffix less when employed to
form adjectives was joined only with
nouns. But the general sloughing off
of nominal and verbal endings which
went on In later centuries reduced a
great proportion of substantiyes and
verbs in the speech to precisely the
same form. In consequence the sense
of any fundamental distinction be-
tween the two broke down In many
ways--in one way in particular. There
Ia nothing easier in our speech than to
convert verb into noun or noun
into a verb 1t is process which has
taken place constantly. In the past and
is liable to take place at any time In
the future, either at the will or the
within of the writer or speaker
