EVERY "tion" word is the same as "cion"

In the preface to the Virginia House of Burgesses Journals during the age of Queen Anne, the style of spelling, and the font of letters and the abbrevations used, were different than today.



One example are words ending in "tion."



The special characters used in indicating these abbreviations are:


c, indicating ti

(menconed, for example, for mentioned);


That's on Page 15 of the preface to the House of Burgesses Journal during the age of Queen Anne.




It just so happens that every English NOUN ending in "tion" is automatically a Spanish word.


If you change "tion" to "cion":


Mention = mencionar but verbs have some other changes when conjugating

Attention= atención

Conviction = convicción

Invitation = invitación




Latin

Roughly Eighty percent of English comes from Latin.


Every English word ending in "ity" becomes Spanish if you change "ity" to "dad."


Velocity becomes Velocidad.


Even city is cuidad, although the prefix changes too.


All "al" words are Spanish too.


Hospital, ideal, animal, central, capital . . . .


All "or" words are Spanish too.


Actor, Doctor, proctor,

  • investigator.

  • refrigerator.

  • communicator.

  • demonstrator.

  • interlocutor.

  • conquistador.

  • exterminator.



All words ending in "lem" change to "lema" to become Spanish.


Problem = Problema


That's a key one. Most gabachos say "Problemo," as in "No Problemo."


And according to Page 2 of "Ask a Mexican," by Gustavo Arellano, "Only gringos call gringos gringos. Mexicans call gringos gabachos."


And gringos use "Problemo."


That is incorrect. It is "Problema" in Spanish.




The ends of many English words are latin.


So changing those ends creates the Spanish word.



In a world of the 1600s and 1700s where the Reserve World Currency is the Spanish Doubloon so much of the English language, especially its nouns, easily convert to Spanish, or to any of the Romance Languages of French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian.




Spelling



English is one of the few languages in the world that holds Spelling Bees.


This is because the pronouncing of different letters is often inconsistent and variable.


Most other languages are consistent.


Other nations hold those spelling bees, but they are about English, not their native tongue.




Webster published in 1786 "The Blue-backed Speller,"


Johnson published the first really epic standard dictionary of English in 1755.


Webster's Americanized dictionary came much later.
