No it's not about linguistic confidence but how can you possibly get Marley(bone) out of the letters in this order - Mary-le-bone? It simply doesn't make sense, well not to me anyway. You wouldn't call a woman Marley if her name was Mary would you? Our language gets corrupted all the time, and many place names have changed - Covent Garden was Convent Garden many moons ago but the spelling has kept up with that usage....... |
