@GaryGaryholman Also: did you mean new or news? From context I suspect you meant news - I might be wrong but a ‘new interview’ would be an odd phrase- and barely noticed typo and wouldn’t bother asking if you weren’t so picky yourself.

@GaryGaryholman She’s speaking not writing. It’s dialect. Real spoken English has many forms. You understood her? Yes. Btw I’m a grammarian.

@godfrey_lawson @Midge1415 Challenge him! It would be great.

[Dr Joy Mower @JoyMower]

@amandacockayne1 Definitely well-deserved!

@AdamHighcliffe Absolutely and even in the military, apart from ceremonial dress which is a whole other thing(!!), I’m guessing most of the uniform is designed for practical uses. The school uniforms we make our children wear are generally not practical, particularly in the primary years.

@JaneyGodley During the Second World War about 12,000 Palestinians volunteered to serve in the British army. These volunteers participated actively in battles in North Africa and Europe. Many of them lost their lives, others were wounded and many are still missing.

@julia59664 As far as the Grammar SAT goes, it's judging teachers to teach something that was never justified in intellectual terms and which contains some aspects of grammar that are actually wrong. Why assess how teachers teach something that has not been established as having value?

🚨Palestinian academics in the UK issue emergency call in defence of universities in Gaza and for urgent public commitments from UK universities and international organisations to support their rebuilding.🇵🇸

@ian_cushing I’ve just looked at their ‘Presentation poster’ that must be displayed in every classroom. It has speech bubbles with instructions in them. Some end in full stops and some don’t. Surely somebody should be pulled up for that??? The inconsistency would be funny, only it’s not.

[Dr Joy Mower @JoyMower]

@ian_cushing Such ignorance of the difference between spoken and written language How can any English teacher subscribe to this?

[Dr Joy Mower @JoyMower]

@Mat_at_Brookes @Bridgeanne I love this book.

[Dr Joy Mower @JoyMower]

@comicrelief Great show but the elephant in the room is #Gaza Why no mention of suffering in that particular part of the world? Is it political? Shurely not???

you can’t get marginalised children to undo their own marginalisation by changing their language, but you can undo marginalisation by transforming the systems which produced that marginalisation in the first place.

@dave_mcpartlin @NAHead10 When was the inspection referred to?

@andrewpunton I’m not a medic but shouldn’t ‘right patient’ be the first thing not near the bottom of the list???

@jrc1921 Come on, @BBCNews! It's absurd to make a distinction between Palestinians and Christians! Please issue a correction and apology.
