@profmortensen I'm writing a feature on how to balance employee retention with the need to get fresh talent/ideas - would you be interested in giving your thoughts? I can DM with details if so!

Ludicrous? Maybe, but what would you do if you ran a tobacco company? Either you try to fight anti-smoking regulations (which is what the industry did for decades) or you figure out a way of not being a tobacco company...

An end of an era for me - I'm leaving @MT_editorial after 7 years to go freelance. Thanks to all my fantastic colleagues, old and new, for your guidance, support and tea-making skills https://t.co/PMRP8uqBzS

Just sent an email with the typo 'Man thanks' in the sign-off. Can't believe I haven't done that before. I must say it has a certain ring to it though...

[Adam P W Gale @AdamPWGale]

I have to say, on some level I'm quite proud of this... #Inbox100k. .

@DrWordy I always knew I was born in the wrong century

I would like to propose we ban the use of the word 'action' as a verb, as in 'I want you to action this'. 

It is not a verb, and it drives me nuts. Or should I say it cars me nuts. 

Do. Do is a really good verb, very simple.

'Do this. I want you to do this.'

@sfh300 True though, it's very contextual, very much about showing professional credentials. Quite interesting really

[Adam P W Gale @AdamPWGale]

@sfh300 Language has to evolve, but does that mean we have to be happy with every mutation? I'm not convinced that resisting usage of a particular word is necessarily futile either - isn't that itself part of our collective decision over whether to accept it or not?

@OliverKamm @RobDrummond I think parasitic wasps are fascinating too but I don't have to like them...

I'm curious to know if action will become as widely accepted as button and butter - I've never heard a kid use action as a verb, which makes me think it'll remain a work thing

[Adam P W Gale @AdamPWGale]

@workplaceevol @MT_editorial Erm, sure... let's just say I take a view

[Adam P W Gale @AdamPWGale]

I felt like a rant. https://t.co/1qIanEHOBI

@lynroseaman @MT_editorial Ah, how I really don't miss the Overground... of course, happy to have a look!

While politicians make threats, scientists make progress - British & Iranian researchers working together on such an important problem https://t.co/46eBPg9GAZ

If his Debenham’s takeover doesn’t work out, maybe Mike Ashley could try his hand at Brexit negotiations... https://t.co/G6K24SCgkV
