This blog is about my personal reaction to news stories which concern language. It is a truth universally recognised by linguists that in general politicians and civil servants understand little or nothing about how language works. This includes issues such as the need for a well funded interpreter service in our courts, the importance of teaching second and even third languages to school children, and other language related issues such as literacy, including the teaching of literacy, and bilingualism. That's it. That's what the blog is about.
Oh, and anything else to do with language that catches my interest.
