A MOMANT IN TIME

We say, ' give me a momant '
In time long ago, cant when
The turm ' moment ' ment
A minet and harf
Maybe back then the in times
Past
Boil an egg in a momant, I am guesing!

Words and phraces have changde
There meening
Like the word mes, to call somthing
A mess today, is a nergative, on the whole!

To call a meil as a mess, you would likaly
Be weraing rather than eating the meil!

Should you disdcibde as meing to the cook!


Now back in the English Tuder times
To say the meil, were a lovely perfick mess
The cook would be so proud and be right happy!

Now the word ' mess ' , can be foun in the following usege!

Offisrs mess, sargentmess, messrom in genual useege!

Words change theier meening and usege over time
Thus it as been evor so, I supose

Sure, you are right, it always has been so. Ask Susie Dent, and her books are a mine of information in that respect. Trying to stop a language's evolution is like trying to stop the flow of Niagara Falls with one hand! Blessings, Allen
