        In a bookshop… (abridged version)
        (after requesting ludicrously long list of books by familiar sounding but unknown authors)
        Customer: I can't read!!!

        Proprietor: You can't…read. (pause) RIGHT!!! Sit down!! Sit down!! Sit!! Sit!! Are you sitting comfortably??? Right!!! (opens book)

        'Ethel the Aardvark was hopping down the river valley one lovely morning, trottety-trottety-trottety, when she might a nice little quantity surveyor…'

        Read it to me!

        @Infidel: when she 'might'? 'met' makes more sense. That seems like a speech to text translation error, unless the original scripts are available, we can't really prove it though.

        @Lukian:
        speech to text translation error
        Oh you modern people with your big words…

        That's how the Bookshop Skit was written by John Cleese and Graham Chapman. First broadcast on March 1st 1967 in the ITV series 'At Last the 1948 Show'. Original cast: Assistant John Cleese; Customer Marty Feldman.

        It does seem a little strange, but is correct. Its an older use of the word expressing possibility, as in to might upon or to chance upon - slightly more than just met. That's my understanding. Might has been substituted with saw in one recent retelling

        Your next task is to rewrite Shakespeare's plays… Those were surely an example of speech to text translation error😀

        @Lukian:
        You young whippersnapper…😯

        Made my brain hurt when I first read might. But the sketch was written in 1967, and included the reading of a fictitious older book. I guess that might explain / excuse the use of old / odd language even for 50 years ago.

        Its like seeing Ye in old writings (but it was read as The), to make out something is old & English.

      • 

        retiredfeline on 04/10/2016 - 14:20

        @Infidel: The Y is actually a substitution for a defunct English letter called thorn, which was pronounced like th. So those people pretending to be ancient by saying:

        Yee Oldey Curiosity Shopey

        are not authentic.

        Thorny issue. Gee, I never knew that😀

        @Infidel: Some time back I was listening to a professor of linguistics claim that way back "war" was pronounced like waar. I thought how can they know this, there were no sound recordings then. Then he explained that they deduced this from rhyming poetry. Clever detective work.

      • 

        INFIDEL on 04/10/2016 - 16:50

        @greenpossum:
        Interesting. (And poetry always rhymes exactly as we know. But exact rhyming sounds were probably much more important then.)

        (War, what is it good for?)
        Absolutely nothing
        (and you've pronounced it incorrectly)

        I love the work of cunning linguists😀

        Like deducing where different foods were first introduced to the now Polynesian groups as they moved out of Asia, by the recency in the oral language of terms describing pigs, yams, etc. From that, an hypothesized route could be suggested. Prof Jarred Diamond's work is thought provoking.

        Words by themselves tell us little, but their use and change tells a lot.

        I annoyed a lot of people in the British Museum, when I wouldn't move away from looking intently at the Rosetta Stone - so others could take selfies with it - philistines😢

        Unfortunately I've had little contact with the interesting field of linguistics. I occassionally hang out with archaeologists in my travels overseas. They try to deduce cultures from what remains in ancient piles of shit. My kind of field😯

        @Infidel: You sound like an interesting conversationalist. We should get a room and not bore the other OzBargainers, or at least a table at a dining place, next time I'm in Brisbania, or you're in Overpricedsydonia.
