The Surgery

But wait! There’s more!

In order for Action Item Man to own this challenge, he needs to be goal-oriented and results driven.

Gold, Jerry, absolute gold:

Weasel Words is a website dedicated to those “who have silently wept into a crumpled copy of their company’s mission statement, for teachers who want to work in classrooms and not customer service points, and for all those who have been underpinned by an innovative, value adding, creative, sustainable, diverse and optimised framework.”

Crikey… maybe even I’m guilty of some of these.  Ouch!

Tune-in to your local ABC Radio National on Friday 11/04/08 at 5:55 P.M. to hear me rant about the use and abuse of the apostrophe.

Apostrophes do two things, that’s all: they make contractions, and they make possessives.

Tune-in to your local ABC Radio National today at 5:55 P.M. to hear me rant about indefinite articles and the letter ‘h’.

In this installment about the demise of the English language, I get angry about people who use an “an” in front of words with a pronounced letter ‘h’: an horrendous, an horrific and an horrible practice I’m sure you’ll agree.

Be sure to tune-in to your local ABC Radio National today at 5:55 P.M. as I rant violently about something that bugs the bejeezus out of me.

Some of you may recall my sporadic contributions to Brett deHoedt’s successful podcast “Hootville” (R.I.P.), in which I waxed lyrical about the demise of the English language.

On this occasion, I’m talking about those little dots that form part of the letters ‘i’ and ‘j’. The little dot is called a tittle.

Please remember to dot your i’s. And your j’s. And don’t forget to cross your t’s. Thankyou.
