The truth about language

Discussing the plans for this year's Leaving Certificate Examination on RTE's Morning Ireland today Sinn Féin's education spokesperson Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire spoke about a 'more true choice'.

Can there be grades of truth? Maybe there can be. Don't we often say 'that's truer'. And there is a word 'truer'.

Language is fascinating.
