'fraid my Afrikaans wasn't up to your note, but I"m quite interested in
the theme. Could you please re-prise it in English or Dutch?<br>
Thanks.<br>

nê, en toe bedink ek my: Ek hou hoegenaamd niks van Akademiese Afrikaans nie!
Dit verbaas my geensins, Jacquie, dat u daarmee sukkel. Wat my betref kan dit
met alle gemak in die duisternis heen. My niggie Gillian, half-Iers, half Skots
met 'n Afrikaner man, is 'n vertaler in die hoëgeregshof, en in haar eie tyd
doen sy vertaal- en redaksiewerk in en tussen Engels en Afrikaans. 'n
Groot deel van haar inskomste 'melk' sy uit die ontleding van 'Akademiese
Afrikaans' in AB Afrikaans, en sy haat dit. Die hoof-sondaars is na-graadse
studente met hulle tesis in die die Administrasie- of Bestuur-kunde
(Ha!). Uit die Letterkunde kom daar nie vir haar werk nie, maar dis te
verwagte. Mynsinsiens is daar wel 'n nypende nood vir tersiëre-vlak studie in
die Letterkunde, en hier moet dit in die betrokke taal geskied, hetsy Afrikaans
of Hongaars, waarookal in die Wêreld dit bestudeer word, Finland of die
Fillipyne.</span><span style="" lang="NL"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">Ja, laat Engels die tegniese en wetenskaplike taal van die 21ste Eeu wees.
Hier is 'n hond van 'n taal, 'n ware brak, en dit sal nie seer maak nie - en
tog: Ek hou van 'n brak. 'n Mens kan Engels net so ergelik martel. Ek het sulke
strond gelees. Nog iets, wat my in my inneste laat warm voel oor Afrikaas is
dat <strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">egte</span></strong> tegniese taal,
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">ware</span></strong> wetenskaplike
terminologie, kan mens sonder moeite in enigeiets tussen motorwektuigkunde en
radiosterrekunde, wiskunde en plantekunde sonder moeite handhaaf. Hulle wat die
Taal daartoe gestel het, en hulle werk, God laat dit tog nie vergete nie!</span><span style="" lang="NL"></span></p>
