Every now and then loud voices are heard to “do something” about the way English words are spelt. Much talk follows, money is spent on consultants and slowly but surely these ideas fade away. Still it is worth a few moments to view how incorrect spelling will result in confused understanding.
EXAMPLES:
Anti means against – anti war, opposite to –anti hero Ante means before : ante cedent
Alternate means every other – There will be a dance on alternate Saturdays
Alternative means available as another choice – An alternative route
Censor is used to “cut unacceptable parts out of a book or film” whereas censure means to criticize harshly, harsh criticism
