Also, are the rules made by the same people who decide what random item you may or may not need to remove on any given day at UK airports?

How do publisher style guides get made/decided? I'm writing something in which all the '%' symbols need to be changed to 'per cent'. I'm not complaining, I'm just intrigued as to how that choice was discussed and decided. Genuine question.

What’s that? You’re stuck for gift ideas for a friend or relative who: a) is intrigued by accents; b) thinks some ways of speaking are better than others; d) thinks Susie Dent, David Crystal, Ian McMillan, Chris Mason, and Simon Mayo know a good book when they see it?!

Good to see a classic Traitors ‘yourself’ last night. First of the series I believe.

@RobDrummond This is such an excellent book. So relevant to their A level course, loads of great, practical examples of language in action and really engaging! I used some of your intro in my first year 12 lesson to introduce ideas around language and identity. Thanks so much!

Just came across this excellent home-made CD, recorded in 1995. @benjhull on bass, and artwork by the late @beesesteeses. Great memories 😊
