RIM's Lazaridis on why Qwerty's still working

How English works...: Ok evolved into okay. Not the other way around.

I agree with the previous poster that for the reader scanning "who are" is much easier to parse than "who're". It is probably true this may have reflected how his speach sounded at the time, but this copy was posted here for readers to read. Even the most carefully articulate among us will have little differentiation between "who are" and "who're" in normally paced speach (because of how vowels are formed in the mouth--not due to laziness).

Improved copy-editing would be beneficial.; Posted by: jamesisin Posted on: 05/19/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
