How do you begin to explain to someone who is not familiar with English, but insists on telling you that in order to get the Emphatic for a noun in English, you must append a -er suffix to the noun?
You come back with, "Sir, that's only required sometimes when you are forming a noun from a verb, like read or write..."
Yet this person insists on telling you that "Dog-er" should be the word for "The Dog", just because "Writ-er" is derived from "Write."
Honest to God, some people forget that this is a living language, Aramaic. At least wait a few more decades until it dies and no one can come to its defense, before they mangle it!!!!
