i gladly submit this cryptcgram to the ingenuity of my readers and wish them luck. I have not yet de- clphcrcd it. though I have formed some conclusions that may possibly lead to that happy consummation. But it is thirty years since I made out the cypher in the Magazine, and the lapse of time doesn't im- prove one’s skill nor patience in such matters In the meantime I must congratulate this correspondent on having invented a very 000d 60d?-

“INGLISII l! SHE I5 SPOKE"

m nicllsn lansum is. not nsfiy learnt by foreigners, and of- fers some stumbling blocks to trip the unwary native. I recall, for ex- ample, that an announcer describ- ing tho surroundings of the Moose River mine, after the disaster cal‘- ld it a. “shambles.” Hcmercly meant. that there was some dish...- don of property at the mouth of the mine, but used a word implying that there had been a bloody massacre! An abattoir was at one time called a shambles-sill correctly so.

l; a ar magazine this week. I notlcc a paragraph beginning "By and large"-1 have a great dislike for this expression, which I gal l‘ ll sanctioned by some dictionaries. 1t isn't a phrase, however, for it nus-lot b0 parsed or analysed, and one cannot supply other words to main it sensible: it is lust an un-

J F X I!

' grammatical monstrosity.

One of Max Adelei-‘s characters once described the American peo- ple as a society composed of two classes. tho parsables, and the im- parsablesl

In tho North of England we were slit to use the expression "Still and all" but this is parsable for it can be expanded to “Still, and consid- rrlng all things."

I note that some announcers talk lithe Russian town of smo-lensk (which is correct) which others call ltBmole-yensk (which is. not).

Another errorr which is fast be- luninq naturalized is the use oi ‘dove’ as the past tense of "dive." The correct usage ls "dived"; "Down be dived into the river. it was very brave of him" wrote Gilbert in the ‘Yeoman of the Guard." Besides. dove, lfor dived) conflicts with dove (a birdl in pronunciation. This sort of thing makes English difficult for foreigners.
