“Et" m as Correct
aa “At*"—If You Want
to Soy it That Way
Austin, Tex.—If you “vacair--
tion” in the Kentucky moun-
tains, don’t frown on the "na-
tives” who say "1 et my din-
ner,” Miss Katherine Wheat-
ley, University of Texas lie-'
quist, wants.
"Et” is as correct as “ate"—
if you live in England or in
certain sections of the Sooth,
the diction authority said.
"Speech is standard accord-
ing to good usage rather '.hart
according to the dictionary
pronunciation,” she explaine^-
“Good diction varies wiih'time*
and place.”
In America we are not jostf^
tied in being dogmatic, she de-
clared. citing American scho-
lar'George Krmpp, who defines
speech as standard “when 1C-
passes current in actual use-,
among persons accounted aw
representatives of the ap-
proved social traditions of at
community.’
