Collogue:Paris in the 20th Century

"[...] (Paris au XX:e siècle) is a novelle screiven bi Jules Verne [...]"

It wis pyntit oot that screiven is a nonce wird.

REPLY: Leuk for screivin at www.dsl.ac.uk/dsl/ acause Sheena Blackhall seems tae think it is

A coudna find SCREIVEN tho!

Then leuk unner Scrieven ye'll fin it.

Gin ye meant this ye've lost the plot pal.

"‘Twas thus the day ran scrieven aff, Mid ploy an’ frolic, joke an’ laugh. "

Nae, follae ma directions. First mak shuir ye'r brousin "all dsl texts", then dab upo "Quotation Text" an pittin "Screivin" intil the search box. Ye'll git a wird Yule, sindry wird that Yule sae dinnae pit it intil the box, unner it it shuid hae a quote fae Sheena Blackhall's The Bonsai Grower.

There's little pynt in this collogue. It's juist argyin for the sake o it. Gin oniebodie disna like the wey an airticle's been written, they shuid juist chynge it. Argyin ower words a chiel's uised or shuid hae uised, or writin snide comments is juist a waste o effort for aa concerned. Sin we still hae reid links aa ower the shop, there's far mair uissfu things tae dae, sic as write new airticles tae full the gaps... -- Derek Ross 00:41, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Ae last wee shottie;

Scrieve for ordinar means "To scratch or incise a mark, specif. to incise the outline of some object on a piece of wood in order to show the shape in which it is to be made, esp. the outline of a boat, to scribe; to mark a tree for felling."

Fae tho it wis apllee'd "To write, esp. to write easily and copiously." an fae this

Scriever "a writer, used somewhat contemptuously, a scribbler, 'a mean scribe'."

A seemilar wird is screeve "To move, glide, bowl swiftly along, to speed on smoothly."

"A’m naething o’ a writer, but A’m a scriever at indeetin." R. D. Trotter

Uisin it for tae replace the guid Scots wird write coud be taen tae implee no haein muckle o a guid conceit o whit a writer's written.

Aw the same the past tense wad be scrieved an no *screiven*. A jalouse thon orra beastie cam aboot bi anology wi the guid Scots write - wrat(e) - written [1].

O coorse mony fowk writin Scots the day is sweirt tae uise guid Scots wirds that's the same as English sae ither Scots wirds gets ower wrocht an taks on meanins thay for ordinar niver wad hae haen amang native speakers an ither fowk that disna ken ony better juist blindlins follaes.

Nae muckle pynt in me chyngin it gin its aye gaun tae be chynged back.
