The new way to avoid checking your emails every ten minutes...

Welcome to my blog! On it I'm going to post all the things we cover in class (handouts, youtube vids, useful stuff in the library, revision notes....) so it'll be in one easy to find spot. If you want to ask me anything direct (and that incluldes you, parents) then don't bother emailing me at my gmail address, but do drop me a line at my school address.
Cheers!

Another quality post I've shamelessly swiped from the SFX blog - the language log stuff might be a little steep for a few of you, but do look at the BBC article - in particular, the comments made by Melanie Johnson around 3/4 of the way down; you'll find a neat summary of language change, and you'll be able to figure out the predominant attitudes to language change (in this case, the rise of American English) from the comments made by the people who have contributed. Enjoy!
