New examples that English (US) is wrong

 BUOY  has this etymology

So its comes into English from the Spanish (boyaa) and the Dutch (boyee)

I'm no linguist but I have ears. The word sounds like "boy" in both its original form and in English.

And yet in some parts of America it has become BOOEE

Now we see here further evidence of the inability of the Americans to learn languages and speak. They can't even learn English!

The other interpretation is that the Americans have just artificially changed the language after independence to try and develop their own language. But it is fake, obvious and pathetic. This is not how languages happen.

=== another example

ROUTE

Well its almost pointless looking into this as the Americans always get it wrong, but even going back to the French it obviously sounds like "root".

Now in American the mistake they make is to confuse it with the word "rout":

 

This makes some sense as the English word "rout" comes from a different sense of "route." At some point the pronunciation "rout" came in to distinguish the meanings of a "way" and a "break up of an army". Could look into it but I'm certain English will be the correct.

Here the US has really messing up by using an English innovation "rout" to then refer to a "way" which totally bastardises everything.

Now none of this is trivial. As Confucius says "get the names right and everything else follows." But I note conversely "get the names wrong and nothing follows". The apparently superficial way that the US cannot adopt language properly has deep implications for the US psyche and its ability to think and perceive the world. In my experience Americans don't just get the language wrong, literally everything American think is wrong too. The US world view is so bastardised that it bears almost no resemblance to reality, and it means that when American think they understand in fact they are clueless. They do not understand enough to even realise how little they understand.

A good example is listening to cable Christian channels. Now thinks like TBN get much of their stuff right and you think: great these people read the Bible and understand the word of God. And then they start saying stuff that is so far off you realise it was only luck and they have no idea what Jesus was saying. The key think is the read and understand not try and bend things to your own world view. But as we see with English the US seems to think it is okay just to change things when it suits them. The problem of course with this is that after only a few generations of people just changing little things as with Chinese Whispers you end up with Nonsense. This is why English (US) is just junk, and why Christianity (US) is just junk and why Anything (US) is inferior and nonsense.

Another good example of this is US overseas policy. The UK having spent centuries perfecting the art of Empire passed on some skills to the CIA. Especially in the 1959 Iranian Coup the US administration was very impressed with British techniques and wholesale adopted them. And yet the Vietnam War was a disaster where it all failed. And even then the US moved into Afghanistan using the same technologies and created Al-Qaeda. I cannot think of one occasion in 300 years of British Empire where our hired thugs managed to turn against us as spectacularly as the Jihadists have messed up the US. The one resounding mistake the British made was Israel but I wonder how much this was influenced by .. well we know who the usual suspect is don't we.
