<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Misspelling came in when the Sass clique started respelling
things in such a way that words resembled their German cognates, in order to
make written Low Saxon look as German as possible. Among other horrible things,
this led to the spelling /Rehg/ (because of the German cognate /Reihe/) 'row'.
Ouch!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Nu warrst
du unreell. "Rehg" is veel öller as Sass. Kummt to'n Bispeel al 1854
in Raabe sien 'Allgemeines plattdeutsches Volksbuch' vör. Mi gefallt de
Schrievwies 'Rehg' ok nich. Dücht mi nich besünners klook (dat 'h' in 'Reihe'
is ja etymoloogsch verwandt mit dat 'g' in 'Reeg' un dat 'w' in 'row'). </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">'Rehg'
is keen 'misspelling'. Dat is hööchstens en 'unwitty spelling'. Sass gefallt
dat 'h' allerdings ok nich un bi Sass is 'Reeg' vertekent. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Sass hett denn ok nix
"respelt" dat dat "as German as possible" utsüht. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">He hett
blot de Schrievregeln, de dat ok vörher al geven harr, en beten op Reeg bröcht
un 'normaliseert'. De Lüüd hebbt ok al vör Sass na hoochdüütsche Schrievregeln
schreven. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">He harr ok
nich "as German as possible" in'n Sinn. He harr "as recognizable
as possible for people educated in German-only schools" in'n Sinn.<span style="color: rgb(136, 136, 136);"><br>

On street and road names<br>
Hi LLs,<br>
Introducing a radically global system using numbers only.<br>
The American have gone pretty far. Transferred to Europe,<br>
the axis Warsaw-Posen-Berlin-Hanover-<br>
Arnheim-Den Haag would be indicated <br>
E1E or E1W.----- Done.<br>
With streets running east-west and avenues north-south,all being numbered,<br>
one can pinpoit an address on a map without ever having been there.<br>
Good system? Practical yes, easy to use, yes,maybe applicable to<br>
Hanover and London,
but to Monschau and Maastricht?<br>
Just a thought by Michael Wintzer</span></p>
