JovialJman - English 101 continued

Budget cuts, they make use very inventive.

On December 5th 2014 I had written a post about some interesting things about English, and more on its origin. I said I would say more on the subject thus I am here. So without further ado here they are.

When it come to point of view somethings can often be mixed up and/or forgotten. You get first, second and third point of view. When writing you will be using one of theses if you are talking about a person or to one like I am doing here. First person - is when the subject matter is about yourself. This would be something like, "I went to the shops to buy some food." I refers to yourself thus making it first person. Words that include yourself would be an indication of this as well, (us, we, me, and so on). The matters are usually subjective so when trying to talk about facts this point of view is not always reliable unless to try and see things from that persons experience.

Second person - is when you are talking about someone else and not including yourself. When referring to someone by name or saying you, you will be talking about one specific person. You cannot use I or me here, since you cannot refer to yourself. Cooking instructions are usually in this point of view. This blog would be a mixture between first and second. I am addressing it to you but also saying things like, "I think", "I found interesting" and things like that. Each blog post will however be more steered to one of these though.

Third person - is when speaking about people in general, or about a specific person. So, "JovialJman was once a younger man", would be Third person since I am not addressing you, and if another person says it, it will still hold its context. For reference, if I say, "you are awesome" compared to if you say it, the person that is awesome would change.

There are a few things that other languages have that English does not, and I say we should start a trend and try and get these things into existence since English might be better off with it. Some words that are in other languages are some that we should have in english, this is a list of 38. Some of them are "Tartle" from the scots, it means the hesitation just before you have to introduce someone whose name you can't really remember. "Mencolek" from the Indonesian means to tap someone on the opposite shoulder that you are on to trick them. Your Grandma might have felt "gigil", it means the urge to pinch or squeeze something that is way too cute. Overmorrow is an old english word that I have used a lot but the Georgians have the word Zeg, it means the day after tomorrow. Lastly there is "boketto" in Japanese which means to stare into the distance for no reason. Hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a word I really like, it is in english but the meaning is rather humorous. It is the fear of long words, and look how long it is. Sorry to those that do have hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
