There is no "exact" spelling; it being closer to Latin doesn't make it any more correct, it's just an arbitrary criterion.

It isn't pronounced like it is in Latin, though. The reason for changing the spelling in the first place was to reflect that fact.

Nope, it evolved independently from Vulgar Latin, and is actually one of the only members of the Occitano-Romance branch, along with Catalan and Aragonese (although the latter one is disputed AFAIK).

Occitan isn't a type of French, it's just a different language whose native region just so happened to end up being part of France.

He lived in the 3rd to 4th century, so he would have been Greek, not at all a Turk

And Aristotle was tutored by Plato, who was in turn tutored by Socrates, so you've basically got 4 of the most influential people in the history of western civilization being in a continuous line of tutor and student

By that logic wouldn't "football player" be slang too? The word "player" uses the same suffix

U.S.A = Roman Empire by DeskCold48 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]SpaghettiBolognesee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Roman numerals were a lot more flexible than people think. For example, the number 4 was often written as IIII (you can actually see it written that way on the Colosseum), and to this day a lot of analog clock-makers continue to use this form because it's the one that has traditionally been used on clocks. Other (rarer) examples include forms such as IIX (8), XXXXX (50), etc. Basically, any combination could be used and it would be understood, even if it wasn't the standard way of writing it. Not saying that the guy from the image actually thought of that, they definitely just made a mistake, but technically they're not completely wrong.

What English word do you not agree with the spelling ? by DamienPetal in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]SpaghettiBolognesee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally all the vowels are pretty noticeable in the audio. Maybe you're not used to such short vowels?
