It is said that, upon seeing the newly-built St Paul's Cathedral, Queen Anne told Christopher Wren that it was "awful, artificial, and amusing"—by which she actually meant "awe-inspiring, highly artistic, and thought-provoking". #semanticshift #pejoration

My conversation with Mihály Szilágyi-Gál about the media in Orbán's Hungary is now available! Thank you @robpyrah for bringing this series of podcasts together. https://t.co/yBNOwnWEnD via @acast

@TheConranShop Wonderful. Welcome back. Will you also be ramping up your customer service? Appreciate the challenge I’m still waiting to hear about my missing vouchers from your December offer despite a few emails and attempted calls. Many thanks.

@WH1SKS THIS.

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS Plenty are saying that forms of lockdown will come back...

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS Isn’t it normally? Just temporarily replaced by their Xmas campaign ID?

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS 😂

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS Hm. Frankly, why match based primarily on looks in the first place then? Seems a bit unhinged, well dodged.

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS I’d laugh if she were an avid reader of this feed.

Popped to Lidl last night. All lovely. Until I confused the above for the below. The internet has already noticed - TM lawyers surely too? #mcvities

Gib niemals ungefragt einen Rat. Der Weise braucht ihn nicht, der Narr nimmt ihn nicht an.
—German proverb

[Never give advice unless asked. The wise man won’t need it, the fool won’t heed it.]

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS Yes, a lot of front.

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@AbhishekKarale @NeelBurton Yes: this could be equal parts a failure of broader education and enriched vocabulary.
It’s a word often used in literary or historical studies, but falls into the camp of ‘too difficult’ in a spirit of functionalism / lowest common denominator simplicity.

[Brand|Culture @thinkbrighter]

@WH1SKS Yeah, it's easy to get cynical - the words might be similar but the devil is in the detail of how they translate it, I suppose (or it should be).
