Spelling lesson of the day

[SteveB]

I do notice that Irish Folk pronounce off as aff especially country folk or that's how it sounds to a foreigner like myself, for example, take those knickers aff ya

"Off" or "aff" sounds similar. Both are "off" away from". Take those knickers "away from" (off) ya.
Would never be take "ov" or "ah" as in alcatel's post.

The crack ah dawn.
When the early bird or the late owl catches mice.

Again, "ah" is a version of "ov". The crack "of" dawn.

[SteveB]

Slightly off thread;

Its and it’s are frequently confused but the difference is easy to explain and understand.

“It’s is always short for “it is”

“Its means belonging to or associated with a thing previously mentioned or easily identified.
"turn the camera on its side"
belonging to or associated with a child or animal of unspecified sex.
"a baby in its mother's womb"

The apostrophe in English has two common meanings; to replace one or more letters [as in “it’s” “it (i)s”] or meaning one thing belongs to another [as in Kate’s 102 reviews.]

Because “its” is possessive it is thought by some people it should have an apostrophe.
But we do not write hi’s or her’s. Nor should we write it’s.

“It’s” is always short for “it is”
