| | Posted: | | | | A linguistic question for the Brits here.  Dubbing Mixer and Dubbing Editor are British English for Sound Re-Recording Mixer and Sound Editor, right? I found them on screen in the Sound credits section of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, produced by a British company Besides, Design stands for Production Designer, as it seems? | | | | -- Enry |

No - credits are entered as they appear - no room for interpretation... No "interpretation". It's a different language. EDIT: Or, to be more accurate, American English and British English are different "dialects" of the same language. Anyhow, there is no doubt that color (US) = colour (UK), and so on... | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

Anyhow, there is no doubt that color (US) = colour (UK), and so on... NO! "color" is misspelled......  Ducks, runs for cover, heads for the hills! Edit: now here's an interesting thing..... Looking at my shorter OED (Fifth Ed., Vol 1, page 451, column 3), the word "color" is referenced under "colour" as colour noun. Also *color. MEwhich according to section 4.8 (page xvi) of the 'Guide to the use of the dictionary' is a valid spelling in "Middle English 1150-1349 or, in some contexts, 1469." Well, well, well.......one lives and learns! So, from where did the "u" come? | | | | Chris | | | | Last edited: by Mole |

Well, well, well.......one lives and learns! So, from where did the "u" come? Middle English is a lot less similar to Modern English than British English is to American English, and spelling was not standardised; different authors would use different spellings for the same word. You can easily find "chirugeon" for "surgeon", "iourne" for "journey", "feendes" for "fiends" or "peyn" for "pain". Readable, but it can take a little effort. Mr Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language in 1755 was the first work to popularise the idea that each word had exactly one spelling, though common usage had generally settled on a single spelling by that stage. It just so happens that Britain and America had each fallen into a different set of spellings, neither of which can really be said to have been more "correct" than the other. But, yes, the desire to make English more "French" was a factor in selecting the varient with -our instead of -or. |
