The dictionary is descriptive [of a wrong culture, muttish], not
prescriptive.

Which is wrong. con means with. As you speak onely muttish, you
would not wittan that "chili con carne" does not hold any antipathy of
the vegetarian persuasion. And so on--muttish speakkrs cannot wrihtly
cleave foreign words so thas a bunch of them become a tangellen mess:
confidense, convict, con -> con; instead of conf, conv, con.

oppos- whatever--opposus, opposum, opposo, oppose.

"einglish"), you witles liar-cretin-charlatan. I'm still not a troll,
and you're still a m=F2r=F2n.
