Decizii gramaticale şi etimologice discutabile ale Academiei Române
Debatable grammatical and etymological decisions of the Romanian Academy

Summary/Abstract: The article has two parts: one dedicated to present different debatable decisions taken in the grammar of the Romanian Language that complicate it, increasing the difficulty level in her understanding and learning, the second is about etymology. Regarding orthography, is well known the controversy of the last decision in using „î” and „â”, as a result of it are written with „î” words as „ânger” („angel”) and with „â” other ones like „a rîde”, „rîu”, „rîpă”. This last rule came as a consequence of a longer row of debatable decisions on the subject and probably the situation was now different if from the beginning would win the partisans of the graphic redaction of altered vowels by primitive ones with a small particular sign, what would make the language more logic, more regular, more similar with the rest of Europeans languages. I think there is no doubt about the controversy of those decisions; nevertheless Romanian Academy strongly fight against forms that she consider incorrect, unlike the Spanish one (Spanish language = „the bigger sister” of Romanian, the most important Romanic language) who’s limiting herself in observing that some forms are erroneous (for example that some verbs, as „reír” or „morir”, should not to be reflexive), without combating, in order to make disappear, that form.
