    'Meanits' is a missounding, you have taken 2 vowels in a word and given them the sounds of 2 different vowels. Would you understand me if I said 'manites' or 'monates'?

    English is a flexible language but you just cannot go around taking words and completely changing the vowels and expect people to understand what you are talking about.

    Now, Is there any other grammatical mechanisms you just change in Ayrshire when you feel like it? is using the full stop the norm for you or are you just using it now because you are in our company?
    And you're quoting grammatical rules at me when we're trying to phonetically reproduce the pronunciation of a word, spoken in a local dialect. Meanwhile calling the pronunciation 'kind of different' in the process as if that's somehow an unusual thing in Britain? We're a country (ies) full of people who speak 'kind if different'. I kind of like that, not sure why you seem to have a problem with it however.

    Full stops. Fck knows and who cares? I may throw a few too many in, or not enough, or put em in odd places, I wasn't trying to have a grammar off with you, and correcting you on a couple of things - vis-a-vis it's not just ayrshire foks who say meanits. Stop being a cock (Hard for you I know).
