News from JMS
Welcome to our blog, where we plan to feature news, views and translation clues. Things like: did you know that English cats say ‘meow’, German moggies ‘miau’, French felines ‘miaou’, and Spanish Siamese ‘miau’. Pause for thought…
They’re their, dear
And at the same festival Simon Horobin, an English professor at Magdalen College, Oxford, said it was not sacrilegious to suggest that ‘they’re’, ‘their’ and ‘there’ might be spelt in the same way.
That will put the cat among the pigeons…Must check how you say that in Mandarin.
