This is a great article. Language precision is a question of judgment and style (in the narrow sense of consistent, rarely contravened preference). I'm here, I'm waiting. Perfectly punctuated, fact-checked, syntactically sound and consistent web baloney is but a PM away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you as an English Language university lecturer or Stephen Fry-type with a monocle! Edited May 15, 2013 by NewBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk...gazine-22403731 Before reading this, I thought Grammarians were what they used before the 78 vinyl. I abhor bad grammar, in particular as I can find it almost daily in the newspapers. The new grammar test is not the answer. The test this week was ridiculously easy, give me an hour with a level 3 child and I could get them to level 5 on that test. Incidentally, I found a grammatical error in the script for the spelling test. They missed out a comma separating a subordinate clause. Maybe Mr Gove could use 24 Hours' services. (I know the law says that I will have made a mistake, can someone please proof read it for me?) Edited May 16, 2013 by Magic Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Heck C-Beck Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I think they should concentrate on getting the correct words and spelling in place before moving on to grammar! Last week an article started with Ee Johnson instead of Lee Johnson. To me this shows that whoever writes for the site is not even bothering to quickly read through their output once after finishing. Poor form, but sadly not unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this shows that whoever writes for the site is not even bothering to quickly read through their output once after finishing. Poor form, but sadly not unexpected. That sort of stuff shouldn't even happen when you're writing. Let's start with this simple rule: if there's a red line underneath it, stop and check. My offer extends to professional proofreading training for whoever produces this stuff in the first place. It might not make them perfect, but I guarantee fewer errors. Seriously. I'm here all day.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I hadn't forgotten about being Prediction League Champion. I've hired a Popemobile so I can have a parade through the streets of Tulse Hill. The colour theme will be blue - I'm thinking loads of flashing lights should do the trick. The people expect me.
