@WendyRees @susie_dent Oh I never knew it was rhyming slang - have never heard of him! I didn't Google it because sometimes there are false etymologies bandied about, but this seems legit 😊

[Steph Noviss @senseofstyletrs]

@susie_dent Where does the expression "on your tod" come from?

[Steph Noviss @senseofstyletrs]

@THE_CHELSEAGIRL These are definitely tough times to be born! We're doing OK though despite everything. Thank you xx

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

English has an ancient law: in words like 'chit chat', 'zigzag', and 'seesaw', we always put the part with an i (as in 'pit') or e (as in 'be') first. We instinctively know this rule of 'ablaut reduplication'. You can't have a pair of flop flips or jamjims, or play pong ping.

That my best clients have turned out to be people I already knew! Particularly after quite a long in-house career as I found I had unwittingly built up a decent network of language professionals over the years.

Going from an in-house position to freelancing has given me some interesting insights into the world of freelance translation! What are the most surprising things my fellow freelancers have discovered since going freelance? #freelancetranslation #freelancer #translation #xl8

And the out of office is on! Off to explore some exciting new places and hopefully find time for some relaxation too. Now just need to get packing... Think this little one wants to come too 😢

Oh boy, I just love it when a single sentence in Spanish goes on for a page and a half #legaltranslation

@GameDevIdeas "Almost" 😂

Very worthwhile read from the Chartered Institute of Linguists. It will be interesting to see how they will be tackling these challenges in the coming months.

@THE_CHELSEAGIRL Great location!! 😁

[Steph Noviss @senseofstyletrs]

@MorettiBeer Any chance you could shed some light on the lyrics to the Italian song Pizza Pye in your UK ad? Can't seem to find them online and it's very frustrating not knowing! #italian #languagenerd #pizzapye

[Steph Noviss @senseofstyletrs]

@geekybaking Love this 😁

[British Museum @britishmuseum]

We’re celebrating our 266th birthday! The British Museum Act was given royal assent #onthisday in 1753, creating the first national public museum in the world 🎉🏛🎈

[Steph Noviss @senseofstyletrs]

@GameDevIdeas Oh thanks, you've ruined that song for me now!
