Encyclopedia > Crase

Crase is the fusion of the preposition a with the feminine definite article a in Portuguese, marked with a grave accent, resulting in à. The grave accent ( ` ) is a diacritic mark used in written Greek until 1982 (polytonic orthography), French, Catalan, Welsh, Italian, Vietnamese, Scottish Gaelic, Norwegian, Portuguese, and other languages. ...

à

For example, the sentence "Vou a a casa de João" (I am going to John's) would be written as "Vou à casa de João", which simplifies the sentence, as the pronunciation of à is the same as a.

crase (4505 words)
Jeffery J Crase may appear to be a decorated hero in his Frontiersmen uniform in Adelaide but to the genuine veteran community he is a comical wannabe who should not be in a position to influence the development of our youth as he does in his Legion of Frontiersmen of the Commonwealth Cadet Unit.
In his reply Crase assumes that we had "an informant", the truth is that there is a line up of ex servicemen and others whom have been offended by his antics and felt it necessary to put a stop to the embarrassing behaviour.
Crase also claims to have reported us to a plethora of defence agencies and the Federal Attorney General and asserts we are acquiring information in an illegal manner, all information we gather is in the public domain or covered by witness statements.
