do you say wriggle or wiggle? I've always said wiggle...

MakeMeGrrrrowl · 03-14-2015, 09:49 AM

Wiggle. And I spell grammar the correct way too. Especially when asking a question about grammar.

Today I learned the difference between "wiggle" and "wriggle." Interestingly, wiggle can mean wriggle but wriggle never means wiggle. Here are their verb forms from Webster's 10th:
wiggle
1: to move to and fro with quick jerky or shaking motions: JIGGLE
2: to proceed with or as if with twisting and turning movements: WRIGGLE
wriggle
1: to move the body or a bodily part to and fro with short writhing motions like a worm: SQUIRM
2: to move or advance by twisting and turning

They are two separate words...so I use whichever I need, in the appropriate time. :P

marcop · 03-14-2015, 02:32 PM

They're two different words with (slightly) different meanings.

On a side note, I pronounce the word "ate" as "et". I'm pretty sure I pronounced it "ate" when I was a kid back in England... not sure if I picked it up there at some point, or after I emigrated to the US.

"Et" comes from watching the Beverly Hillbillies too much! j/k

Actually, this source: verbs - The pronunciation of "ate" - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange says that the Queen says "et" and it's part of what's called Received Pronunciation, which is the way the upper classes talk in England.

I asked because I'm hearing different pronunciations from the models from different areas... for instance "dropped t's" mounen instead of mountain and a few other instances...

That's not nice at all.

I wasn't being malicious, I was just saying you spelled it wrong. I used to spell it wrong too, then I learned to spell it correctly and now it's a pet peeve.

That's all toots, nothing more nothing less. Just giving you a little spelling lesson for your grammAr question.

fair enough... I spelled grammer the way I was pronouncing the word... but now I'll say grammar

grammar (n.) Look up grammar at Dictionary.comearly 14c., gramarye (late 12c. in surnames), from Old French gramaire "learning," especially Latin and philology, "grammar, (magic) incantation, spells, mumbo-jumbo," "irregular semi-popular adoption" [OED] of Latin grammatica, from Greek grammatike tekhne "art of letters," with a sense of both philology and literature in the broadest sense, fem. adjective from gramma "letter," from stem of graphein "to draw or write" (see -graphy). An Old English word for it was stæfcræft (see staff (n.)).

Form grammar is from late 14c. Restriction to "rules of language" is a post-classical development, but as this type of study was until 16c. limited to Latin, Middle English gramarye also came to mean "learning in general, knowledge peculiar to the learned classes" (early 14c.), which included astrology and magic; hence the secondary meaning of "occult knowledge" (late 15c.), which evolved in Scottish into glamor (q.v.).

A grammar school (late 14c.) originally was "a school in which the learned languages are grammatically taught" [Johnson, who also has grammaticaster "a mean verbal pedant"]. In U.S. (1842) the term was put to use in the graded system for "a school between primary and secondary where English grammar is taught."
