"REFORM OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE - continued

Start the discussion on Imhonete, here: http://tgarmashroffe.imhonet.ru/blog/762754/

quote from his last (for now) post imhonete:

«... The question still is based on which conclusions about the distribution of certain words and their forms (spelling, accent). In truth, I do not know how to study the reformers this question, what is the basis that take into account. But I'm sure that they do not take into account the historical factor. And it is extremely important! Is it possible to judge about the human body the period when he is sick? Generalize this condition and conclude that now he must always be a red rash on the face and a fever? Assume that it is his characteristic as a whole? "
No, no!
And our country is sick the past twenty years. Because we have a revolution occurred uncultured. "

continues the theme here in my LJ, as hereinafter more personal.

Those who have read my novel "can not run away to stay" This idea is familiar, but I will quote it here for those who can not read:
«... in Russia, in fact, there was not just restructuring, which you have heard a lot out there in America. We have occurred this revolution in many ways comparable with the Bolshevik - but bloodless, fortunately. Then, in the seventeenth year, in a society completely overturned the social strata and their hierarchy. Climbed to the top of the proletarian, to bend under him and then-elite intellectuals - the nobility. Then, over the years of Soviet power, the proletariat has acquired a new elite and a new intelligentsia. Only the new elite has grown not in the national cultural traditions, as the nobility - it was formed in the tradition of totalitarian regime, his staff and nomenclature. While the intelligentsia, even if new, could be formed, by definition, only on the cultural traditions, - Restoring them, thus!
And in the nineties is another revolution, which re-inverts the social strata of society. At this time at the top of it are thugs, whose capitals are merged in the sweet ecstasy of the possibilities of the Soviet apparatus. Intellectuals, even repress did not have: she is out in circulation! Primitive economic way. In those years, the teacher ran out of schools, colleges and universities emptied, do not remove Movies folded research ... Intelligentsia lost its influence and weight status in society. And for a dozen years in the mentality of society completely overturned the hierarchy of values. Now our boys are taught to be rich - but not honest, and teach our girls to get married by calculation, not in love ... »

uncultured Revolution led to the key and visible positions in society have taken people who do not have even an average crop (and the other half of them so far, "'brother'). Yes, during the Soviet era, too, were our stewards of the plow - compare with Europe, where politicians are from the best educational institutions, and the ability to competently and literary talk is perhaps the first requirement for them.
But then, with shovels, existed, at least, hard requirements for all those who had to deal with the language. No actress in the theater. College, no speakers on the TV would not have taken if he / she has not there has pronunciation; in journalism did not allow a person without a diploma, and illiterate (albeit with a diploma) lost his seat.
But the 90 - years of robbery, as everyone knows, and the slogan of the era was "protyrsya first!". All tyrilis and who could, and where at any price. Speakers and diktorshi leading gear, journalists - broadcast and newspapers were filled with people profneprigodnymi, illiterate, or through connections in bribes ... And they have unwittingly set the tone! Want-not, and a public call (including the accent) affects on consciousness.

From my point of view, this period of total illiteracy; a period of illness of the Russian language. Which authors of dictionaries and reformers decided deem to be the norm!
our language should be treated. It would be very nice if this was the Reformers and engaged - and would not legitimize the pathology!
