hey
speaking of the lazy english such as
them = 'em
her = er
does that include
these as 'ese
those as ose
his as is
this as is
here as ere

vanishing the th sound

or that's not making any sense

thank you in advance

You continue to live up to your username by using no capitalisation or punctuation in your posts. That is, as BarbD said, lazy English.

Please click on Edit Post and make the relevant changes, following these rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mar.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Always capitalise proper nouns (English, Chris, Shakespeare).
- Do not put a space before a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a full stop, comma, question mark or exclamation mark.

As far as I am aware, with the exception of capitalising the first person singular, those rules are the same in written French.
 
When you have edited your post, please check the accuracy of the information in your profile.
 
Also, once all that's done, if you do have a question, please ask it.
 
What kinda information ?
 
Yes, I know but I am not that good with these rules.
Could you provide me with link I can learn when I put dot or comma.
Thank you.
 
Actually its same Q Is there something like vanishing TH from (them) and rest of 'em? I am newly studying American english?
Thank you In advance

I'm not sure why you've come here if you want to speak bad, barely comprehensible English. I'm sure you can do that already, and it's not really what we do here.
But no, "this, those and these" don't lose their "th" in even the worst of speakers.
If you need a simple rule for "th": If a word starts with 'th', pronounce it.

Punctuation rules in English are very similar to those in French with regards to commas and full stops. Can you write properly in French?
 
1. When in doubt, keep the th. No one says 'ese or 'ose!

2. The folks above are right. You are not writing a text message to a friend. You are writing to a post to public forum. Capitals and punctuation are needed - especially at public forum dedicated to good English!

You're welcome!
