@BonsoirAnna @ian_cushing But they can express themselves in terms that are understandable by the greater number. But those terms and their users are often judged for not using standardised forms even though what is said is understandable. This is not about communication. It’s about control and power.

@tonythorne007 @EngLangBlog I remembered being there one year when someone from the Queen’s English Society or some such started getting pedantic about something and Bas Aarts said he was ‘talking bollocks’. That was a great grammar day 🤣

@DavidDidau Really insightful post. It’s interesting how this might conflict with the ‘trust the process’ ideology.

Lovely bit of SPaG issues here.

The staff of Leyton Sixth Form College are calling for a ceasefire as part of the @STWuk Workplace Day of Action. @NeUnion #CeasefireNowDOA

Is ‘clarted’ a fully accepted #verb now? Peter Drury used it in the Manchester derby today during the build up to @PhilFoden’s goal. Had no idea Drury from the endz. #englang #MUNMCI

@chat_patwah Such amazing clarity and inclusion of context in these lessons. 💯 gonna use them for Eng Lang A Level! And even more proof that non-standardised Englishes are just as complex as standardised English. And sometimes more logical and regular too!

[Nelson Bayomy @NelsonBayomy]

Very interesting grammar lesson here. Really useful for World Englishes
