i dont want to be a nudnik but when i see mistakes in yiddish i correct them simply because i hope yidish will live to be spoken properly. case in point - you cant say " a gevaldike vort - its either a gevaldik vort in general yidish ( because its dos vort - loshn stam ) or in litvishn yiddish its a gevaldiker vort -loshn zochor - der vort. carlebach who spoke a correct yiddish said - a klein toirale. sorry for being so pedantic but it seems that the whole gender grammer is non existent even among those who speak yiddish pretty well
Tzig, I must tell you that I am very impressed with your site. I am especially impressed that you manage to keep out all nivul peh. Although I do not have a very high opinion of your Rebbe, I must admit that your site is very classy. A breath of fresh air amidst a sea of angry bloggers.
I would love for some to write this up Bkitzur even in English it is Comprehensible too me and yiddish is my first language.
