It’s a foreign (written) language even for those for whom it’s their native (spoken) language

[pne]

It’s amusing sometimes to read some people’s written Rumantsch Grischun, where they make mistakes based on their “native” written idiom.

(Most recent example: an invitation, where the Sursilvan shone through in the masculine plural participle ending -ì (sr: sg -i pl -i, rg: sg -ì pl -ids), including an instance of the masc/fem form “bainvegnì(das)” (sr: beinvegni(das), rg: bainvegnid(a)s); and also in “dat ei” for “gibt es” rather than rg “datti”.)

Also makes me feel better about the mistakes I make :-)
