David Crystal

@RealGeoffBarton Hi Geoff. Ben has just pointed me in the direction of this thread. Thank you for the warm words - and to everyone, and the warmest of waves in return.

It's the birthday today of Prof David Crystal. Anyone who has taught English language at any level will know how influential he has been as an explainer of linguistics. Here, for example, is a piece on the quirks of English spelling. David - thank you. buff.ly/3RZbyo9
