@Telegraph Poor poppets, imagine having to face that, being dragged in, kicking and screaming, to a higher tax bracket, through no fault of your own, it's tragic. Spare a thought for this downtrodden minority this Christmas, folks.

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@Jin_Sane Yeah they're gonna be cross about salt too

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@chipzkii Aw bless their cotton socks. All the more for you then!

@Christianilbury not sure I've ever said this word. I remember me and a friend giggling at school because they pronounced it ˌhəuməuˈsɛksjuʷəl in some sort of information video and that's all we took from that lesson

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@RobDrummond @91caitlin I like to use crude expressions about people having unholy crushes on Latin when trying to explain stuff like the preposition rule. I will shout at the telly if necessary, try me😡 I'm talking about you Big Bang Theory, shame on you Sheldon

I really must stop arguing with members of the public on Facebook posts like this. Why do I do this to myself? https://t.co/kBhRwEdqGr

So excited to playing the violin in this - some cracking tunes. If you're in Aylesbury, in Bucks, In the UK - or anywhere near - come to this!

@rm_gibson I love it when this happens! There's not enough goose for my liking though.

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@DrClaireH Love it! I'm considering a Masters, but worried about getting a job (struggling with traditional linguistics Masters) - who is recruiting into FL jobs at the moment that I could research??

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

Our guinea pigs were of course all given middle names, taken from my daughter's favourite songs; and nothing is better than when the vet comes into the waiting room, looks at their notes and says "Pickle Roxanne Lloyd Evans?" 😂
(Roxanne, Chase Atlantic, tho, not The Police!)

@loiseaulivier I think it's probably to do with dragons and how they refer to themselves, soooo

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

Can't lie, the job alerts I get from all the standard recruitment sites are really overblowing my qualifications. An MA in Linguistics is not a PhD in Molecular Biology with one year's assay experience. Pretty sure I won't get past the first hurdle with this

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@LinguisticsShi1 @dejectedvole To be fair that's a hideous pronunciation though. Like prosody. Which I find hilariously ironic. I spent a long time doing anything I could to avoid having to say that word out loud lol

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@LauraTheSwiftie I definitely do this. It's the same part of my brain that hates having loads of 'appointments' in the day - even if they're nice things like classes for my hobbies, or seeing friends...!

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@FountainPenDiva Ooh I literally just read about this! The whole escaping from Oxford castle shenanigans and the fact that all the royal women at the time were called Matilda. Which was a bit confusing. Stephen seemed a bit, well, rubbish.

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@garicgymro The one that annoys me more than anything (apart from linguistic ones obvs) is the music one - 'music these days is rubbish'. Try disco dancing to Sit Down by James back in 'my day' before slagging off today's music, I dare you

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@LinguisticsShi1 I agree, up with this we should absolutely not put

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@coryshain Not to mention our goose-fronting, dress-dropping, fleeces, kits and goats!

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@ruthiehayes67 @Jin_Sane Oooh they're super fancy aren't they, I like!

[Catherine Lewis Lloyd Evans @CLewisLEvans]

@TriciaCanning Yes, would love to - just looking for something which is likely to get me a satisfying career at the end! It's the Aston distance-learning one I'm looking at
