But you know how kids are...last night at dinner I corrected my daughter from saying "sitted" and she just rolled her eyes and said it 4 more times. I bet I'll hear "swang" alot over the next week! :)Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891614490103342485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890965705973577389.post-75539263960620959802010-07-01T00:52:08.914-07:002010-07-01T00:52:08.914-07:00....swum...swang...is that swim in the Aussie twan.......swum...swang...is that swim in the Aussie twang??Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648307410383451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890965705973577389.post-12122954699365953782010-07-01T00:06:01.054-07:002010-07-01T00:06:01.054-07:00I'm with you!

There's an amazing book for kids (and grown up curious kids like us) called, "The Word Snoop" that digs deep into why English is so inconsistent but gives great value to and installs pride in our language - one word at a time. I can see slang creeping in, but swum?Leah (aka Mary_not_Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08912083158121035192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890965705973577389.post-75415725660162125132010-06-30T17:05:50.287-07:002010-06-30T17:05:50.287-07:00Swang?!

Those words....ugh...even make my head hurt to read them in this context!
