Haai julle,

Dankie, Ron, daut weet ek, ja,nee!

Mark, ja natuurlik hou mense daarvan om grappenderwys van 'hogere Afrikaans'
te praat as hulle:
-iemand graag grondwaarts wil druk OF tot akademiese hoogstes wil stoot;
-erken dat hulle sekere fenomene binne die diskoers nie te lekker begryp het
nie;
-wil te kenne gee dat highfalutin Taal nou nie juis hulle forté is nie.

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser

Van die os op die esel: Elsie, ek gee toe u opmerking betreffende die *
formele* gebruik van  die uitdrukking 'Hogere Afrikaans', maaar, onse
fynproewer van die suiderlike streektale, u moes selfs telkens die
uitdrukking in informele verband gehoor het - of hoe?
