She pronounced it with the accent on the primary syllable \u2014 \u201cON-boarding\u201d \u2014 despite the fact that we pronounce the unique expression \u201con BOARD.\u201d Consider it or not, this received me fascinated about mayonnaise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Extra particularly, it jogged my memory of an outdated <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/GG_S_10\/GG_1951-02-28_ep394_Trying_to_Name_Twins.mp3\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">radio commercial<\/a> that has all the time caught in my thoughts for the best way, within the final line, the announcer pronounces the identify of the product with a delicate emphasis on the final phrase: \u201cMiracle WHIP.\u201d (He made it sound slightly beautiful: \u201cMiracle Whip has such a beautiful taste \u2014 vigorous and teasing, peppy and but not a bit too sharp. It\u2019s a taste that\u2019s simply precisely proper!\u201d) As we speak we put the burden on the primary phrase, \u201cMIRACLE Whip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For those who pay attention for it, you may hear the same shift in many alternative locations. A personality in a Nineteen Thirties gangster film I noticed accused one other of performing like a \u201cmassive SHOT.\u201d I distinctly keep in mind a pal excitedly telling me in 1977 that he had simply seen a neat new film known as \u201cStar WARS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All of them observe the identical sample: As names and phrases turn into acquainted, audio system have a tendency to begin shifting the emphasis to the entrance. It occurs regularly, however the consequence could be unmistakable, leaving the unique pronunciation to sound odd and dated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That radio business is from 1951, when the condiment was nonetheless newer to the market. Initially one referred to it as a type of whip that was designated a miracle, a miracle WHIP, like a magic CARPET or a silver FLUTE. However many individuals encounter Miracle Whip extra typically than magic carpets or silver flutes. Because the condiment grew to become acquainted to American shoppers, the emphasis shifted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In that very same business, the announcer calls it a \u201csalad DRESSing\u201d as a substitute of our extra frequent \u201cSALad dressing.\u201d And the identical goes for the communication platform that individuals are immediately extra prone to name \u201cWHATSapp,\u201d slightly than \u201cWhatsAPP,\u201d as they did when it first got here into vast circulation. The shift occurred because the time period grew to become commonplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s one of many fascinating idiosyncrasies of the English language, and an ideal instance of how massive and bizarre and fascinating grammar actually is. In faculties, Anglophone college students study grammar principally as a sequence of errors to keep away from, reminiscent of saying \u201cmuch less books\u201d as a substitute of \u201cfewer books\u201d or \u201chim and me sang\u201d slightly than \u201che and I sang.\u201d The underlying message is that we&#8217;re for some motive given to utilizing language incorrectly, and that it&#8217;s the work of a cultivated individual to study a greater means.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">However nearly all the blackboard grammar guidelines are issues some individuals made up 200 or extra years in the past. (I can\u2019t resist noting you can study extra about that in my forthcoming e-book \u201cPronoun Bother,\u201d together with the \u201chim and me\u201d challenge.) The concentrate on these dos and don\u2019ts distracts us from the complexity and nuance below the language\u2019s hood, the issues that make it really fascinating slightly than only a minefield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Emphasis shift, for instance, does greater than mark one thing as having turn into acquainted. It may also be a means of turning a verb right into a noun. You reJECT one thing; that factor then turns into a REject. You perMIT one thing, or get a PERmit for it. The accent shift makes one thing into \u201ca factor,\u201d so to talk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One other factor college students are sometimes taught is that although English spelling is a little bit of a nightmare, English grammar is comparatively easy in comparison with, say, Spanish or Russian grammar. However that, too, underestimates the language. Take the long run tense. Look in a textbook and also you\u2019ll discover that the best way to specific the long run is with \u201cwill\u201d: \u201cTomorrow I&#8217;ll purchase an umbrella.\u201d Discover, nonetheless, that although that sentence is appropriate, it\u2019s not how a local speaker can be prone to specific the thought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A lot simpler to think about is \u201cTomorrow I\u2019m going to purchase an umbrella.\u201d Easy, easy. You might additionally say \u201cTomorrow I\u2019ll purchase an umbrella,\u201d which hints that the acquisition was overdue. \u201cTomorrow I purchase an umbrella\u201d implies that it is going to be a serious milestone in your growth. \u201cTomorrow I\u2019m shopping for an umbrella\u201d is what you\u2019d say as a risk in case you had been fascinated about hitting anyone with it. The Duolingual \u201cTomorrow I&#8217;ll purchase an umbrella\u201d sounds, compared to these different choices, as in case you have determined upon the motion after a protracted interval of deliberation. And admittedly, I don\u2019t know what \u201cI shall purchase an umbrella\u201d means in any respect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Marinating in these complexities (which I typically do by curling up with Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey Pullum\u2019s magisterial but crisp \u201cThe Cambridge Grammar of the English Language\u201d) opens us to the conclusion that somebody saying \u201cONboarding\u201d isn&#8217;t just a random quirk. It\u2019s an indication of a change, the emergence of a brand new distinction, of a form that makes the language an infinitely increasing device slightly than a dark impediment course. The provision is infinite: Did you ever discover how typically adjectives have their very own non-public substitute for \u201cvery\u201d \u2014 model new, grime low cost, hopping mad, jet black? And isn\u2019t that just a bit extra fascinating than a (concocted!) rule about when to make use of that and when to make use of which?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">***<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By the best way, I&#8217;ve come throughout one other e-book that teaches us new methods of  issues. It taught me that matter consists of the buildup not of bits of stuff however of standing vibrations. In contrast to other forms of vibrations, standing vibrations can&#8217;t penetrate each other. They&#8217;ll thus cluster, forming atoms and subsequently matter. I get this \u2014 if I received it proper! \u2014 from Matt Strassler\u2019s marvelous new \u201cWaves in an Unimaginable Sea.\u201d What makes the vibrations \u201cstand\u201d is the drive that drives these Higgs bosons we heard a lot about some years in the past. Strassler\u2019s e-book makes it attainable to know such issues with out experience in physics or math. The e-book picks up the place \u201cThe Dancing Wu Li Masters\u201d left off and deserves the identical devoted readership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/04\/opinion\/miracle-whip-and-onboarding.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a Zoom name just lately, somebody talked about the \u201conboarding\u201d of a brand new office coverage.
