You should review any planned financial transactions that may have tax or legal implications with your personal tax or legal advisor. Unfortunately, the problem is set to get even worse with the major dictionaries competing with each other to include the most new definitions in each new edition by trawling any old rubbish that gets published.Investing in securities involves risks, and there is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. It's a pity that the great George Bernard Shaw had very limited success in his campaign to make English spelling less anomalous. Thank goodness English verb formation is far simpler. (And that's before considering the English language problem of the hard "g" before an "e"!)Īs a Spanish speaker I despair at the number of word formation anomalies in English which probably more than doubles the amount of time it takes a child to read and spell English as compared to Spanish. Clearly "targetting" should have been the correct spelling.
An analogy is with "target" and "targeting". Their plurals etc with the single "s" create a pronunciation anomaly for the plurals of "bonus" and "bus" etc. Unfortunately, far too many words have been incorrectly formed, and usually through pure ignorance displayed in influential published material (major newspapers, novels etc).Ĭf the plurals of words with a long "u" in the singular or in varying verb forms.
"Bonus" should, of course, have had the "s" doubled to form the correct English plural so as to ensure maintenance of the short "u". I've just joined so this appears to be an ancient thread but here's my contribution.
